DiLiGO Interview: Louisa

Name


Louisa Lee

Date of Birth

Somewhere in the 70's, but closer to the 80's ;)

Who would you say your celebrity  doppelganger is?

Most people say I remind them of Alyson Hannigan. You know, the "This one time, at band camp..." girl from American Pie (the movie) and now How I met your mother.

What do you do at DiLiGO Games HQ and how  much do you LOVE it?

My most important job is that of Communications Officer. I'm the person you see doing all the talking in the online social spaces of DiLiGO Games. I am the voice of DiLiGO and it's players. When I'm not talking to DiLiGO Gamers or the DiLiGO Developers I'm busy blogging or having meetings with our Promotions and Support Teams. I like to know what's happening in the world of DiLiGO so I keep my nose in everything ;)

Which do you prefer and why - playing Slots at a casino or on Facebook?

I've only ever played Slots at a casino once. It was very exciting, but I lasted all of 5 mins. I found the experience too dazzling- I didn't understand the machine and there was too much noise, and too many people. I much prefer to play Slots on Facebook. I can either sit at my desk at work or home with a warm mug of tea and my headphones on and spin away to my hearts delight without any distraction.

What is your favorite game on DiLiGO Slots and why?

This is a hard one to answer. I think mostly because I like quite a few and change my favourite often! But right now, I'm really enjoying our new "High Roller" Slots games. The competition is intense, but the reward is worth it! I got 1250 Tokens for a 12th place the other day- nice! :)

What theme would you most like to see on DiLiGO Slots?

I'd really like to see another girly blingy Slot Machine. Something punk rock like with pretty skulls and diamonds and guitars.  

What's  your best strategy for playing slots?

Well I don't play every day as sometimes I'm so busy at work but I do make sure I log on so I receive my Daily Tokens and Gifts. But when this happens this is great because my Tokens build up so that when I do play I can play for ages. I also always play with a strategy. I play on a game until I get on the Leaderboard and then I move on to the next one. If it looks like I'm about to get kicked off the Top 80 then I go back to that game and spin some more, but never more than I need to. This way, at the end of the hour I'm guaranteed to win Tokens and keep playing!

Newsflash: DiLiGO to recapture Buccaneer’s Bounty

Yesterday, in a shocking turn of events, a crew of pirates turned on the DiLiGO Team and pillaged a large store of DiLiGO Slots points. Now DiLiGO is on a mission to recapture the stolen loot.

The pirates had been invited to DiLiGO headquarters as research consultants and language instructors for a new pirate-themed slot game. 

“Perhaps we should have been more prepared,” said DiLiGO’s treasurer. “They are pirates after all. We just thought that, what with it being 2010 and all, pirates were a lot friendlier in a Walt Disney kind of way. We never expected this.”

It was during a discussion on the modern usage of the Jolly Roger when the captain, a black-toothed fellow named Blacktooth, pulled out a cutlass and yelled “Argh! Where be the treasure?”

DiLiGO staff were initially amused and used the opportunity to practise their newly acquired pirate-speak, shouting phrases like, “Ahoy, me hearty!” and “Shiver me timbers!” at the pirate.

One DiLiGO designer who witnessed the scene said, “We were all having fun, and at first Captain Blacktooth seemed perplexed and a little frustrated. He kind of coughed and said, ‘No really guys we want your points.’ When no one took him seriously he grabbed Louisa Lee, DiLiGO's Communications Officer, held the cutlass to her throat and said, ‘Avast land lubbers, or I’ll send her to Davey Jones!’ That’s when we realised what was happening.”

The pirates made off with a huge stash of points from the DiLiGO treasury. But the story doesn’t end there. It would have been a serious loss if it weren’t for the ingenuity of the head of DiLiGO’s programming team, Guillermo. He had a few clever tricks up his sleeves, which he is now using to beat the buccaneers at their own game.

"During our research, the pirates unknowingly gave us all the information we need to be able to hack through their security,” said Guillermo. “As soon as the new game is up and running we can win back everything they took.”

So now DiLiGO wants everyone to be part of the battle to reclaim the pirate plunder. Play Buccaneer’s Bounty and win back your own share of the stolen loot! This is your opportunity to boost your score and take part in a major pirate adventure. The compass scatter symbol and the wild skull ’n cross swords are your secret weapons to recover the Buccaneer’s Bounty and be remembered in the DiLiGO halls of fame!
