The magical moment of my spawning was 21st March sometime before the 80's.

Who would you say your celebrity doppelganger is?

I would have to say its a 50 / 50 mix between Wall-E and Short Circuit.

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

I am a senior Flex Developer here at Diligo, I am a grease monkey of the bits and bytes that create the pixels on your screens. I really love it as the head honchos here are forever bringing new and challenging projects that need to be machined and installed, which keeps my fingertips bleeding.

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

Definitely prefer to play Slots on Facebook, don't have to wait for people to move to play a game, plus the casinos don't like it much when I bring my laptop in. I also enjoy the social aspect of Facebook, and challenging my friends in the hourly leader board.

What is your favorite game on DiLiGO and why? 

There is no way I can just pick one favourite, I play at least 4 every hour even if I have to sneak it in at work... Vegas, Samurai vs. Ninja, Zoo and Licensed to Win.

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

I would really like to see a pyromaniac theme, symbols with awesome animated explosions of varying magnitude.

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

Facebook definitely, way more convenient and you don’t have to wrestle old ladies for a good seat...

What is your favorite game on DiLiGO Slot  Machines and why?

Driving Ms Tinkerbell and Token Rockets, Token rockets has a competitive bonus game.

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

Werewolves’ and wrestling... all action.

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!

DiLiGO Interview: Hardy

Name


Hardy

Date of Birth

Just long ago enough that this isn’t child abuse.

Who would you say your celebrity  doppelganger is?

Well according to my colleagues I look like Justin Bieber... but I think this is a bit of a long shot, I’m not that young.

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

I’m the numbers guy, I love it so much I made it my nick in online games that I play. Next time you’re getting pwned by the “Numerator” just remember me.

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

I hate going anywhere near a casino where I know the numbers are stacked against me. I play Slots at DiliGO most of my free time because I can do it anywhere and anytime. There are also lots of cool features like leaderboards where you get to play against other people that I’ve never seen in an actual casino before.

What is your favorite game on DiLiGO Slot  Machines and why?

My favorite game has to be Spooky Town. I really enjoy playing the bonus game and spin till I get this every day to take a break from crunching the numbers. I like it the most because the sound effects are really well done and I’m yet to find the hidden item that gives a max score bonus.

What theme would you most like to make?

I would have to say a personal slots game made up of pictures of me or Justin Bieber and then I only win if I can notice the difference… :) no jokes but a slots game with my personal photos would be something different I’d like to see our developers do sometime.

What's  your best strategy for playing slots?

If I told you that I wouldn’t win as much would I? :) I’ll give you a clue though… If you want to really score loads of tokens you have to watch the Leaderboards like a hawk. Make sure that you’re the first one to start spinning during these games and then just go wild and you’re bound to win big.

DiLiGO Interview: Elzanne

Name

Elzanne

Date of Birth

Before 1985 after 1975

Who would you say your celebrity doppelganger is?

Well, I have several celebrity doppelgangers actually. I keep them on retainer. I often take my Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr. and James McAvoy doubles to parties with me, or just when I go down the street to get some ice cream. We all stroll around looking cool, like a big Hollywood brat pack, and then I sometimes get mistaken for a vaguely familiar red carpet tag-along, like the wife of that guy in that movie… You know the one…

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

I blog. I’m Lady Bloggalot. The best days are when I get to plunge into a game theme, and wrestle out some interesting creative tangents to write about.

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

Mmm, let’s see … My own comfy chair in my own comfy home, with a homemade wheatgrass smoothie in my hand, and some fun Facebook banter with my buddies… Or a frenzied, noisy casino and the awful feeling of leaving broke and full of regret. Not a difficult choice really.

What is your favorite game on DiLiGO and why?

I like games with quirky themes like Guido Smack (Ed's note: Coming soon!) that also offer interesting bonus rounds.

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

I’m all up for a recycling theme. Why not go green and get people to spin for good cause?

What's your best strategy for playing slots?

Play until something exciting happens. I like bonus rounds and hidden features. So I like to explore different games and see what they offer. Of course, it helps to win tokens wherever you can, so games like Leprechaun and Token Rockets are pretty cool.

DiLiGO Interview: Mary

Name


Mary

Date of Birth

4 July 1985

Who would you say your celebrity  doppelganger is?

Someone once said I looked like Lady Gaga. I don't believe them. I think I look more like the cartoon character Scary Miss Mary or Emily the Strange.

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

I do a little bit of this, a little bit of that. Mostly I work on promotions like the Leaderboard Challenges, Badge Bingo and User Submitted Questions as well as the bigger promotions like the High Flyers Challenge. I also help Louisa to put the monthly DiLiGO Newsletter together as well as manage this Blog.

I love my job! Who thought you could get paid to do be on Facebook? Or to do something you enjoy! I really like that my job is both social and creative.

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

I've only ever played Slots at a Casino once. I lasted 5 minutes, lost a bunch of money and then it was all over. So I much prefer playing DiLiGO Slots on Facebook. If you've got a good strategy you can play for hours and there's no way you can lose money! It's also much more fun in that you can chat to your friends who are all over the world on Facebook at the same time whereas they might not be able to join you at a real Casino.

What is your favorite game on DiLiGO Slot  Machines and why?

I really love playing Zoo. I seem to win more when I play this game. I also love playing Forbidden Love. I just love that Vampire animation!

What theme would you most like to make?

I LOVE STARS! I'd love to see a theme with the moon, sun, planets and stars. That would be so cool!

What's  your best strategy for playing slots?

I like to bet max. I only spin a few times on each machine until I've got a top 20 Leaderboard position on the Hourly Leaderboard. After that I move on to another game and do the same until I'm on at least 4 or 5 Leaderboards. I then spend the rest of the hour watching those positions and spinning more to keep them if the need arises. It's also a good idea to build up a bit of a stock of "back up" tokens. So I don't spin all of mine down each day. In the beginning I logged in a few days and let them pile up before I got seriously into playing.

DiLiGO Interview: Lisa

Name


Lisa

Oh way back in the good old days when computers were the size of a whole room! ;)

Who would you say your celebrity  doppelganger is?

hmm .. Julie Andrews? .. sort of Mary Poppins fix everything and make everyone happy.. oh and I can sing too!

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

I answer the support emails and I’m the mum around the place.  I love dealing with people and sorting out problems so this job is right up my street.

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

Casino or Facebook – both – I love playing on Fb because I can have fun in the comfort of my own home, but I also love the atmosphere of a casino and hey – I’m lucky!

What is your favorite game on DiLiGO Slot  Machines and why?

My favourite game is Driving Tinkerbell – I like getting lots of points to upgrade the other machines and buy badges, and Tinkerbell pays out good high scores.

What theme would you most like to make?

hmm I’m a keen gardener, so something to do with gardening or plants/flowers would be nice.  Or an under the sea theme would also be great – there are lovely gardens under the sea...

What's  your best strategy for playing slots?

I like to store up my tokens during the week and then play them all over the weekend – I play as many machines as possible to see how often I can get onto the leaderboards.

DiLiGO Interview: Daniel

Name


Daniel

Date of Birth

Some time in the 70's.

Who would you say your celebrity  doppelganger is?

Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory.

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

My official title is "Monkey Wrangler". I make sure the animals (aka staff) are fed, healthy, their cages clean and most importantly perform well in our daily circus show (aka their jobs). As a small boy I wanted to be a vet so in some round about way I'm living my dream.

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

Definately on facebook. The experience and variety is so much better than in a land based casino. There is more competition and excitement...I also don't have to travel so far.

What is your favorite game on DiLiGO Slot  Machines and why?

So many! "Mad Scientist", "Zoo" and a little "Rock 'n Roll" because they remind me of work.

What theme would you most like to make?

Circus theme.

DiLiGO Interview: Pigeon

Name

Pigeon

Date of Birth

The 24th light cycle, of the Earth month you know as May, in the time period designated 1987.

Who would you say your celebrity  doppelganger is?

I'm kind of a composite of many celebrities:

-The beard of Johnny Depp,
-The hair from the Beatles (you can choose the member),
-The eyes of Cyclops from the X-men,
-The singing voice of Jack Black,
-The nose and mouth of Scorpion from Mortal Kombat

I'm like a celebrity Frankenstein.

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

I'm a developer here at DiLiGO and I do a little of this and a little of that, but developing new and exciting features is my favorite job.

I also make sure everybody here is in a good mood by flashing them the patented “Pigeon Smile” which will brighten up any DiLiGO staff member's day by 10 fold.

How much do I love it? Well at least this much:
*-Pigeon stretches his wings out as far as they can go-*

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

That's a toughy as they are both awesome. My favorite part of slots is rubbing my friend's noses in my massive winnings and I can do that both at the casino and while playing DiLiGO Slots.

HOWEVER! If I play on Facebook, not only can I show off to my DiLiGO buddies, but the entire DiLiGO Slots community, and to all Facebook friends as well :) So Facebook slots wins the better slots experience.

What is your favorite game on DiLiGO Slot  Machines and why?

To be honest I don't have a favorite because I switch slot machines more often then Chuck Norris kicks someone random in the head. I do enjoy playing the newer machines though, which is great because we're constantly bringing out new machines, which keeps my attention.

What theme would you most like to make?

I wouldn't mind a Classic Monster theme :) With the Wolfman, Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, King Kong and all those other crazy kids. I'm trying to decide now if Bigfoot belongs in that group or not? Hmmmm... Opinions?

Now I'm trying to decide who would win in a battle to the death.

What's  your best strategy for playing slots?

Bet HUGE, win HUGE! Its not much of a strategy, but when it works, boy does it work.

DiLiGO Interview: Teddy

Name

Teddy

Date of Birth

14 February 1984

Who would you say your celebrity  doppelganger is?

Even Facebook wouldn't give me a response on that one! No clue, but will keep looking.

EDITORS NOTE: Will Smith! He's a total lookalike- although he's too modest to ever admit it! ;)

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

I am a PHP/Flex Developer. I learnt the latter at DiLiGO Games and am loving the new technology. Let's keep learning and making more fun games!!!!

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

Definitely on Facebook because you can play anytime, anywhere... AND DiLiGO gives free tokens :)

What is your favorite game on DiLiGO Slot  Machines and why?

High Gear as the whole racing theme is very appealing. It's also the easiest for me to play I have to say. The pay out is simple so I know exactly how many points I'm winning... then again maybe it's because I have played it so often? ;)

What theme would you most like to make?

Now that the A-Team's at the cinemas I think they'd make for an awesome Slot Machines theme. What a classic!

What's  your best strategy for playing slots?

There are strategies for Slots? I guess repeatedly clicking on the spin button is not the best one then. I'm going to have to UP my game now...

DiLiGO Interview: WildCat Matt

Name

WildCat Matt

Date of Birth

25/04/1985

Who would you say your celebrity  doppelganger is?

1.) The probability of any celebrity being even vaguely like me is exceptionally low.

2.) Are you trying to suggest that I am not already a celebrity?!

3.) I am a unique and special snowflake.

4.) I Am Weasel.

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

I'm the technical designer. I design and maintain the user interface that surrounds the games and I also do quality checks on the games themselves. I like this job because the petty foibles of my colleagues are an endless source of amusement. Also, we occasionally go out for lunch to the local pizza restaurant, which is great!

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

Personally, I prefer playing slots at a casino because I like fruitlessly blowing away my hard-earned cash. Although Slot Machines on Facebook are much more convenient- and easier on the wallet!

What is your favorite game on DiLiGO Slot  Machines and why?

My favourite is Ancient Egypt because I am fascinated by the history and mythology of that subject.

What theme would you most like to make?

I'd like to do a theme based on stereotypical B-grade action movies.

What's  your best strategy for playing slots?

I like to play the less popular games because I have a better chance of winning Tokens by getting into the top 20 of the "Best Spin of the Hour" leader board. I also like to get all the upgrades for those games to increase my chances even further.

Eddie Murphy - some say I'm the splitting image of him... ;)

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

I do the illustrations and animations for the themes. It's really awesome here, I do what I love and work with great people!

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

Slots on Facebook- I can chill at home and play when ever I feel like instead of schlepping to a casino and playing next to someone wearing an adult diaper.

What is your favorite game on DiLiGO Slot Machines and why?

Don't really have a favourite as all of them were fun to design; some more challenging than others, but if I had to choose one it would be the sushi theme which I created recently. It's a very different style to what I normally do. I enjoy a challenge!

What theme would you most like to make?

I can't really say what theme I would most like to make, but what I can say is that if I do one more feminine theme- I'm going to drop an ovary. *JOKES* I don't mind what theme I design, I just try to make it look awesome!

What's your best strategy for playing slots?

I don't know if you can call clicking your mouse vigorously a strategy?

DiLiGO Interview: Lady Lala

Name

Lady Lala

Date of Birth

21/10/1985

Who would you say your celebrity doppelganger is?

Jennifer Aniston

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

Yeah of course i love it, what's there not to love in this awesome job? I design themes, animations and keep the boys on their toes.

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

I prefer playing slots on Facebook. I play for excitement and entertainment, not for big money, and that's what Facebook is giving me.

What is your favorite game on DiLiGO Slot Machines and why?

My favorite theme is still being created so I can't tell you what it is. All I can say is that I am really excited for it to be released and I'm sure all the DiLiGO Gamers are going to be blown away!

What theme would you most like to make?

Well, all of them. Every theme has had a spot on my favorite list for different reasons. There are some awesome games coming out soon that I found very exciting to design and I feel very proud of all the hard work that was put into it. I just can't choose one because I enjoy making all of them!

What's your best strategy for playing slots?

Go big or go home!!! I play maximum lines and maximum tokens for the maximum WIN!

DiLiGO Interview: Mighty Mike!

Name:

Mighty Mike

Date of Birth

10/10/1986

Who would you say your celebrity doppelganger is?

Jack Black.

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

I help with designing the slot machines, I think it's an awesome place to work at. The people are all cool and there's free food.

Which do you prefer and why - playing slots at a casino or on facebook?

On Facebook as it's much more fun competing against my friends for top spots on the Leaderboards- plus sometimes I've even won tokens for coming in the top 20 on the Live Leaderboard!

What is your favorite game on DiLiGO and why?

High Gear because it was my first slot machine I made when I started working at DiLiGO Games.

What theme would you most like to make?

A Yakuza theme or a gaming theme like Mass Effect 2 or FF13.

What's your best strategy for playing slots?

I don't really have one single strategy. I enjoy trying different things. On some of the newer machines where you can increase the amount of tokens bet per line- I like to bet the max amount of tokens per line, but then spin with only a few lines active so that I don't run out of tokens too fast. I like doing this because my tokens last longer and when I do hit a winning spin my pay out is multiplied to the max!
