dice derby

[i love bttrflys]

my challenge is dice derby win 600 or more tokens 10 times this week, do you have to come in first place? i scored over 600 but no credit. and should i play 6 or 9 lap thanks

[Homer]

Yup, you must come in first to get the jp spin in order to get the necessary tokens. There are varying opinions on 6 or 9 lap races. 9 lap races worked relatively well for me. ;)

[i love bttrflys]

you mean on the jackpot spin you must get 600 tokens or more? i have came in first place with 1,025 tokens then on jp spin got 300 tokens but no credits thanks in advance

[YabbaDabbaDoo]

I don't think the 1,025 are tokens, I think they are game points. Your tokens are baed on your finishing position...50 tokens for 4th, etc (not sure what the actual tokens per placing are). You will have to win the game to get sufficient tokens to work toward the badge/

9 lap games are better because you get a 100 token bonus, on top of the jackpot spin.

[Homer]

You must be reading it wrong. You can't get 1025 tokens for winning the race. I forget the amounts for winning but that plus your jp spin must equal 600 or more tokens.

ok ty all i will try it again. i think i got the hang of it.

[Homer]

Prepare to be frustrated. It's one of the harder badges to get. ;)

No kidding. I still havent try it yet. Every one is saying it takes forever.

[philinuk]

that badge must be one of the most time comsuming and frustrating badges to get,what i did was  do a few games a day so i didnt get too bored,and the 600 spins + are very few and far between,but i wish u luck in conquering and suceeding in getting that badge O0

 :-[ :-[ :-[          i have been at this 3 hours nothing yet, pulling my hair out. my eyes are  :o :o
homer you're not kidding it's a hard badge. lol

[BigByrd]

Okay I tried this badge numerous times and I finally got it today.  I ran the auto for nearly two day with 9 lap races.  You have to come in first place with a jp spin of 500 tokens or more.

BigByrd  And yes I am glad it is over

[BigByrd]

I notice it was the number of tokens had to add up to 600 if that make since.  If the jp spin was 300 or 400 I didn't get credit, but I did with 500 or more.

[RocknRollGirl]

OH NO......not the dreaded dice derby game again.  When do you think Pogo will get rid of that awful game and stop making it so hard to win the 600 + tokens badge.....and yes you have to win the Jackpot spin of 600 or more.  It brings back terrible memories for me, right Barb......LOL.  Good Luck to you all who are doing that badge.

That is a hard badge to get, but it's doable.  I've gotten it for several friends. 

Your score in the game does not matter, it's only the jackpot spin that counts.  You have to get 600 tokens in the jackpot spin to get credit.  I played 9-lap games because you get better jackpots.  Plus in the 9-lap games you get 100 bonus tokens, so you only really have to get a spin of 500 tokens in order to get credit.

Best thing to do is really know how to play the game so that you always always always come in first place. 

[BigByrd]

I've watched those cars go round and round for two days now and those tokens won plus the jp spins had to add up to 600 still very very hard to do.  The only ones that worked were the ones over 500, and I guarantee I will only win this one ONCE.  >:D

This is copied from the challenged at badge central of that particular challenge and it doesn't say anything about jp spins.

Grand Prix Badge:
Win 600 or more tokens 10 times this week

[bob@pogopal]

Oh no! Not the frog hallucinations again!

[RocknRollGirl]

Yes, horrible memories! Just sit there and imagine the Green back frogs as they are hopping around the racetrack and it becomes more tolerable.

Oh no! Not the frog hallucinations again!

Someone please run over that dang frog with the dice derby car and put us all out of our misery......LOL.  Beep, Beep....squash...........Another one bites the dust.....Just to funny for words.

hi all, as we're on the subject of this particular challenge, I'm gonna try it for my personal challenge next week, when i have played dice derby in the past, i used to come in 1st alot, but i am in desperate need of a real challenge, and this one seems to be a really hard one to get. I welcome it as a change of pace, they really need to make more challenges harder, this week's ones were too easy in my opinion ;) Wish me luck all!! ;D

[RocknRollGirl]

Good Luck irisheyesRsmiling, I do hope you keep you sanity after trying to win THAT personal challenge badge.  I is nerve racking and leave you seeing little cars in your sleep.....LOL.  But best of Luck to you.
