If you're looking for advice on how to do well when playing DiLiGO Slots, then you're on the right page. Ken Wilson is an experienced DiLiGO Gamer with a TON of awesome tips and tricks on how to play DiLiGO Slots strategically to ensure that you can play longer, and win more. He blew us away with his first article "Helpful Hints for DiLiGO Players", and he's done it again now with his "Advanced edition Volume 1". You're a fool not to read this.

Hello DiLiGO Buddies.  By now if you have been using my original hints for DiLiGO players, you should've had a nice increase in your token count because you've been following my steps to success.  So now, I'm going to focus on certain areas that deserve to be scrutinized that bit more to give you guys an idea of what players such as myself do to win more tokens.  This part is going to focus on what it takes to get multiple Top 80 results per hour.

First off, we are going to focus at the top of the hour, when the leaderboards have reset and bear in mind that I am only talking about the individual leaderboards at this stage, we can deal with the overall leaderboard later.  Pick a machine you want to start on and play that machine.  Your goal is to get a winning combination that scores enough points to hold a Top 80 position for a whole 60 minutes.  Your best chance is to score on machines that quite a few people get the same good pay on to use the "get in early with your wins" rule to your advantage really early.  These games include: High Gear, Token Rockets, Driving Tinkerbell, Buccaneer's Bounty, Leprechaun, Original Slots, Ancient Egypt, Euro 2008, US Elections 2008, Rock & Roll or Beijing Olympics.  If you do it early enough, your ranking is higher and has more chance of holding in the Top 80....focus on these machines more in the first 15 minutes as it's harder to get a high ranking on them later.

If you can't do it in your allocated budget on that machine don't worry, just move onto the next machine, but keep following the mantra of always making a profit, don't spend too much on the one machine as your luck may be on another machine while your wasting tokens on a machine that wants to be a lost cause for that particular moment.  The machines change their paying ways several times during an hour like they have mood swings, ranging from paying everyone to paying no one depending on the time and the machine.  I've been on a machine and got nowhere early in the hour, but came back near the end of the hour with some saved tokens and got a major pay which allowed a Top 80 on that machine....it's just the machine's temperament at that time.

After going through these games that I've listed, you then have the games where random payouts determine the rankings more often than not.  These are the ones that have mini games attached such as: Tinseltown, Top Ace, Wild West, Trick or Treat, Happy Holidays, Spoiled Rotten & Easter.  In most cases if you get these winning combinations, you have a greater chance of getting your Top 80 position because a lot of these can boost your overall spin score enough to get you up into the Top 80.  For example, Tinseltown will give you between 40-70pts. extra if you get on the Hollywood Spins mini-game which if you get a good director chair score (5 chairs twice for example) will give you more points than getting 5 ladies which is the highest payout apart from the Jackpot.

The third group of machines are the machines where you can get a lot of multiple payouts in the same spin from the major payouts.  These include most of the remaining games in the list including: Disco, Katy's Kitchen, Footy Fanatics, Di Vino, LOLcats, Mad Scientist, Tropical Paradise & Vegas.  Other machines that also fall into this category while also being in the first two categories are Driving Tinkerbell, Spoiled Rotten, Tinseltown, Happy Holidays, High Gear and Trick or Treat.  These are the games that can give you a lot of points very quickly with their constant payouts on one to 5 or more lines in any one spin!  Not only do big spins like these occur giving you a Top 80 score, they occur very often which builds your point reserves and gives you the ability to upgrade your machines and get your badges quicker and the leaderboards on those games in particular can get very competitive as we all try and get good scores on those machines.  Tropical Paradise can get a lot of very good scores in a row, and when you throw the Free Spins in there aswell, a lot of big point wins can be made for zero cost to you which means you can get in the Top 80 for nothing when it could have potentially cost you up to 1875 tokens for 25 free spins (playing 5x15).

Another thing to do is to make a trail of games you can play that will give you the maximum opportunity to make tokens.  Even though there are 30+ machines to play, if you want to be realistic and use your tokens to their best, your best bet is to focus on a group of 12 to 15 machines over the hour.  By doing this, and if you budget a standard members daily allocation (1000 tokens) per machine, if you played 12 machines in an hour it will cost you a maximum 12000 tokens so your goal would be to make a minimum of 12000 tokens which is easily achievable.

 See, now you're thinking, "Oh right Ken, that's 12 out of 12 Top 80's I have to get!  Get real!", but it's not like that.  You can easily get a couple of first places, and you can get a Top 80 or #1 score on the overall leaderboard.  You can also get heaps of tokens in the Token Rockets game through it's "Black Hole Jackpot" which gives up to 800 tokens depending on your winning Rocket combination and can boost your token count up if you've had a bad run on a couple of machines.
 Not to mention if you already got your big win early in your budgeted amount, you already know that you're safely in the Top 80 and you're already switching to the next machine, saving your tokens that you would have spent trying to attain the result on the machine you just achieved and already trying to get another big result early on a different machine.  Plus by focusing on 12 machines per hour, it gives you a full 5 minutes per machine which is more than enough time to easily spend your 1000 tokens if you don't succeed.  So set a direction of which machines will give you the most tokens back for your tokens spent using the three groups of machines.

That's it for this set of helpful hints.  I hope this all helps you guys maximize your playing time and fun on DiLiGO slots and if it does help you win more tokens, drop a comment down here and let me know.  On the next Volume I will be telling the almighty dark secret, what scores regularly get you into the Top 80. 

Just remember, there's over 7.5 million tokens available from DiLiGO everyday, are you going to claim your rightful share of the tokens??  Also, don't forget to keep adding friends that are in the DiLiGO Buddy Finder so we can continue sharing token gifts with each other.

Have fun all, good luck, and see you on the leader boards!!  NOW GET OUT THERE AND START PLAYING!! :D
