Are there any hints on how to get blackouts other than luck?

Go into a blackout room and let it ride.

Thank you , never knew there was such a thing as a blackout room , I guess I do learn  something everyday

Other than the room, luck. I've been playing quite a bit the last week or two and find it's luck. If you go into the "passing room"(s) they all try and get bingos on the wild lines, so you get tons of wilds, but blackouts are frowned upon. If you are trying to finish a badge and don't mind pissing a few people off, you can try one of those rooms. They won't know it's you blacking out, unless they pay close attention to the bottom text telling the room who blacked out.

I do find I get more bingos in the passing rooms even without blacking out though...if all you care about is the bingo numbers.

Aside from the blackout rooms, If I only have 3 or 4 wilds, I will not use them. I will save them for the next game and have more than needed for at least one blackout. I won't place the wilds until I know I have enough. However if you have to leave the room, you lose any saved wilds.

Yeah, hording can work too. I don't ever place a wild until all the numbers have been called. You don't want to use a wild on a number you get for free.

Not to be confused with whoring.

You can only store five wilds.  If you get the 5th wild, you'll get no more unless you use one.  I always use the 5th wild and take a chance on the number.  More wilds come that way.

Hmmmm...I think I'll leave that one alone. So many directions to go....

Yeah I know you can only store 5...I rarely (if ever) have 5 or more before the end of the numbers. Then again, I rarely hold more than 2 from one game to the next (if I hold any at all). Probably a good idea to use one if you already have 5 though, you're right.

Thank you everyone  , I have ranked out in here and just had badges (all blackout ones) that I had thought about completing (before I forget I have them (smile) )
Thanks again for the tips

I am one of those that hate the blackouts. For one account, I am all ranked out but only have around 4 blackouts which were done while I was sleeping. If a challenge comes up that requires blackouts... I contact POGO support and they manually add the badge. I know MOST OF YOU do not care about your blackout stats but I do.

Thanks, Yoming.  I'm ranked out in the game and checked out my stats.  I have 199 Blackouts.  Don't know if that's good or bad.  Not sure blackouts are my thing.  I'm just happy to be ranked out and I got all those weird special badges, too. 

[snap20]

I'm only on rank 23 but see I have 62 BOs. I don't know what that means either. lol. I always go into the passing rooms now though, so it won't go up much.

There's the badge for passing 25k wilds...I figured I should be doing pretty well on that. I currently have passed 1,747 wilds.    Long way to go there...

[Sue]

I currently have passed 1,747 wilds.

BTW it takes months of playing to get the 25K in passing pinecones.

lol, yeah I guess so, huh? Not sure why I thought I'd have a lot. Other than playing to get the previous badges, I really hadn't played the game before about 2 weeks ago. I suppose a great game is passing 10 wilds, so I realistically shouldn't be surprised I have so few.

[Yoming 2]

I checked my stats just for the heck of it. and I have

blackouts----177

wilds passed---25, 299



I ranked out in this one long time ago and only play when I have to..
