DiLiGO Slots: How to get more Tokens!

You want more Tokens you say? Sure! There are many easy ways to get more Tokens. We'll explain them all here.

Currently standard subscribers receive 1000 Daily tokens and VIP subscribers receive 2000 Daily Tokens as well as some Bonus Promotional Tokens!

2. Win Even More with our Daily Email Token Lottery

Subscribe and validate your email address via "You" and "Email Settings" to sign up to get emails from us.  You'll get 500 Tokens instantly for validating your email address.  We'll also send you an email at midnight EDT every day giving you more Tokens!

3. Play the Leaderboards Strategically and WIN Tokens

We're giving away MILLIONS of prize tokens every hour, day, week and month!

The Hourly Live Leaderboard works as follows:

1. Your OVERALL position where you will compete with all DiLiGO Slots players for a spot on the Top 40 "Best Spins of the Hour" Overall Live Leaderboard.

2. Your specific GAME position where you will compete with DiLiGO Slots players who are playing the same game as you.

This now means that if you are placed in the Top 40 for having a "Best Spin of the Hour" on both the OVERALL and specific GAME Live Leaderboard, you will win token prizes from both!

Token Prizes are as follows:

4. Upgrade the various Slot Machines to higher levels

Trade in the Points won from hitting winning combinations to upgrade any themed Slots machine to a higher level thereby unlocking a higher win pay out percentage or bonus features like Progressive Jackpots, free spins, Bonus games and more.

We also suggest you increase the amount of Tokens bet per line so that you can multiply your win pay out and put yourself in the running for a place on the Top 40 "Hourly Live Leaderboard.  

5. Enter a Lucky Draw

Trade in the Points you have won from spinning on the Slot Machines for tickets to enter a Lucky Draw and stand the chance to win Tokens. One Point = one ticket.

There are draws for 500 Tokens run every half an hour as well as daily, weekly and monthly draws for 5000, 20 000 and 50 000 Tokens respectively.

There are two kinds of half-hourly draws. The regular ones where you can trade in as many Points for tickets as you want thereby increasing your chances (statistically speaking) of being drawn the winner.

There are also "Max 1000" draws that cap each user at a max Point for ticket trade in of 1000 tickets / Points. This ensures that users have a more equal chance at being picked the winner. We highly recommend entering these draws.

6. Invite your friends to Slots and exchange Token Gifts with DiLiGO Buddies

You can send Token Gifts to as many buddies are you want, provided that you only send to each buddy once per 24 hours (rolling time window).

DiLiGO wishes you the luck of the Irish this St Patrick's Day

Some people say that we create our own good luck, and that positive thinking draws good fortune to us like a magnet. In the case of the Irish, luck appears to be a national trait, at least according to popular belief.

“May the luck ’o the Irish be with you” is a common saying on St Patrick’s Day and it suggests that no one could be more blessed with good fortune than an Irishman.

St Patrick himself is considered a symbol of good fortune. Perhaps this is because, before he became a saint, St Patrick was captured as a slave. Through sheer good luck, he managed to escape his captors and then went on to covert all the pagans in Ireland to Christianity – and they’ve felt very lucky ever since.

However, some people suggest that Irish luck is a curse rather than a blessing. When the Irish immigrants came to America they struggled for a long time, and they appeared to have terrible luck. “May you be blessed with the luck of the Irish” might have been an insult in those days. Unless you understood that there is a lot more to Irish luck than meets the eye.

Irony seems to play a big part in the Irish idea of luck. For example:

Megan:    I just put on my new boots when I stepped in a cowpat.
Sean:    Well, ’tis a lucky thing you were wearing those boots then!
Megan:     Yes, luck ’o the Irish!

Another example of the Irish sense of irony occurs on St Patrick’s Day – a day that is considered especially lucky. Why should there be a Leprechaun on the day of a Christian saint who converted pagans? There seems to be no obvious connection between St Patrick and this fairytale creature, except that they both bring good luck.

The Leprechaun is a little man dressed in green, who lives by himself and makes shoes. He also keeps a pot of gold somewhere, and if you are lucky enough to catch him, he will take you to it. However, the Leprechaun is a clever little trickster, and he is able to escape captivity in the flash of an eye. In most stories, the gold seekers are so serious and goal directed that they cannot see through the Leprechaun’s tricks and stories, so he always gets away.

A Leprechaun is a lucky thing, not because he has a pot of gold, but because he always manages to escape. Just like St Patrick did. The real gold they both have to offer is the lesson that nothing is as it seems. When you feel trapped, there is always a way out, and often it just means finding your sense of humour. If you’re only looking for the gold, you may miss the laughter and the magic of a situation.

The real Irish luck is having the right attitude, a tricksy, ironic way of looking at life, which turns troubles into challenges, and replaces a frown with a smile.

Get in the mood for luck and see if you can win big playing our Leprechaun themed Slot Machine. Because he's a trickster there is one happy catch: You’ll win both tokens and points in this leprechaun’s patch!

Want more tokens? Get more tokens!

It's really easy! Just log in to Slots on Facebook every 20 hours and you'll receive 500 daily tokens!

If this just isn't enough to satisfy your DiLiGO Slots thirst, then you'll be happy to know that there are various other ways that you can get more tokens.

3. Enter a Lucky Draw

Using the points you have won from spinning on the Slot Machines you can purchase tickets to enter a Lucky Draw and stand the chance to win tokens. One point = one ticket.

There are two kinds of half-hourly draws. The regular ones where you can purchase as many tickets as you want thereby increasing your chances (statistically speaking) of being drawn the winner.

There are also "Max 1000" draws that cap each user at a max ticket purchase of 1000 tickets. This ensures that users have a more equal chance at being picked the winner. We highly recommend entering these draws.

New DiLiGO Slots: History

Have you ever logged in to be presented with your "Inbox" showing your Daily Tokens received but then looked at your Token Balance and felt that you actually didn't get them?

For various reasons, most often related to a connection problem between your computer and our servers, your Token and/or Points balances may not update immediately. This is because all the various features of the app connect separately and independently of each other - and sometimes one may be a little bit behind the other.

Our advice: When in doubt (and to speed things along) refresh the page! Most often this will re-establish the connection and your Token and/or Points balance will update correctly.

However, we feel that it is also important that you have another way of "double-checking" that you are receiving the correct amount of Daily Tokens, Token Gifts and Points won in the games played. It is for this reason that we have created "History".

Move your mouse over "Help", then click on "History":

Your DiLiGO Games Account History will pop up as follows:

Here you will see that anything in green is a credit to your account (like Daily Tokens, Token Gifts, Hourly Leaderboard Wins, Lucky Draw Wins and Points Won) and anything in red is a debit on your account (like amount of tokens spun, amount of points spent to enter a Lucky Draw or purchase a Badge etc).

We therefore suggest that should you have any doubt about the amount of Tokens received, or Points won go check out your History first. If you still have a question about something you've seen there- do not hesitate to contact the Support Team by selecting "Help", "Contact DiLiGO Support" from the menu and one of the support staff will investigate your query and get back to you with an answer asap.

Note: Support will respond to your query within 24 hours Monday to Friday, but, because we're a humane company who do give our staff break from time to time, if your query is sent over a weekend, Support will get back to you as soon as they can on the Monday immediately following.

Sneak Preview of New-look app

We're really delighted to hear that you're enjoying the new Live Leaderboards the DiLiGO Devs have recently added, but wait, there's so much more to come!

I managed to gain access to the "Nerd Cave" (this is where the Devs spend all their time coding and designing stuff for the app) and got a sneak preview of what they have spent the last few months working on. It's top secret stuff, so even I hadn't seen it until now, however now that I have I've also managed to get some screen shots to show you.

It's awesome! You're going to love it- I know I do! :)

So, this is how your game screen is going to look when you're playing:

Note: The new Live Leaderboard is here to stay. This updated feature was released a little bit early to give DiLiGO Gamers a taste of what is still to come.

This is what you will see when you click on the "See All Games" button (top left of previous image):

Ooh- what do you think Tournaments are going to be? That sounds like fun!

There is also a new-look Lucky Draw Store:

Here you'll be able to see all your achievements as well as the really cool new feature of "Badges"! Look- I've already got some!

I don't know about you but I'm getting really excited!

It's still going to be a few weeks until we see these changes go live- so keep your eye on the Slot Machines app and Fan Page for more info- as we'll definitely keep you updated!

Want more Tokens?

Updated: 4 July 2011

It's the one question that every Slot Machines player has on their mind: How can I get more tokens? How can I play for longer every day?

Whilst every user receives 1,000 daily tokens every 24 hours, for some people, this is just not enough! And so we have created other ways for you to get more tokens.

Here are some of the ways that you can "Get more tokens":


1. Exchange Token Gifts with your friends each day. You can send Token Gifts of 100 tokens each to up to 10 friends each day (ie. every 24 hours). Find Friends to share Tokens with on the DiLiGO Slots Buddy Finder

2. Enter a Lucky Draw. Using the points you have won from spinning on the Slot Machines you can purchase tickets to enter a Lucky Draw and stand the chance to win tokens. One point = one ticket.

There are two draws for 500 tokens run every half an hour as well as daily, weekly and monthly draws for 5000, 20 000 and 50 000 tokens respectively.

There are two kinds of half-hourly draws. The regular ones where you can purchase as many tickets as you want thereby increasing your chances (statistically speaking) of being drawn the winner.

There are also "Max 1000" draws that cap each user at a max ticket purchase of 1000 tickets. This ensures that users have a more equal chance at being picked the winner. We highly recommend entering these draws.

3. Answer Questions. For answering various survey questions you will be rewarded with between 15 and 25 tokens per question.

4. Take up an Offer from one of three offer applications like SuperRewards, OfferPal or TokenAds. Upon the successful completion of one of their offers you will be rewarded with the specified amount of tokens.

5. Play games like Leprechaun, the Token Rocket Bonus Game (level 1) and Disco on the Progressive Jackpot level (level 4) as these games all pay out in tokens.

6. Upgrade the various Slot Machines to higher levels using the points won from hitting winning combinations and then play with a higher amount of tokens bet per line so that you can multiply your win pay out and put yourself in the running for a place on the top 20 "Best Spins of the Hour" Live Leaderboard. First place wins 1000 tokens and 2nd to 20th place win 500 tokens each.

7. Purchase a VIP subscription. For only $9.99 per month you can purchase a VIP subscription that entitles you to 2,000 Daily Tokens (instead of 1,000) and double the 24 hour Token Gift limit.



8. Purchase tokens or level upgrades. This is a much faster way to get tokens to play for longer and upgrade quicker.

9. Finally, we have some exciting news that will definitely reward all those loyal users who play regularly.

Currently the DiLiGO Developers are locked away in their "coding cave", hard at work on a new feature of "Achievement and Reward" that will have certain goals set that, upon achievement of them, will reward regular players with more tokens.

The Developers still have some work to do to get these up to the DiLiGO standard, but we hope to have them released ASAP. Keep your eyes on the Slot Machines Fan Page, monthly Newsletters and this blog for more info as we will inform you as soon as these are released.

Until then, good luck! And, ready... steady... SPIN! ;)

New Feature: Lucky Draws Improved

We've made some really exciting changes to the Lucky Draws in order to increase your chances of being a Winner!

Previously draws would only happen once every 30mins but, because we love you, we've decided to have 2 draws every 30mins. The exciting thing about the second draw, is that the maximum number of entries a player can have for the second draw is 1000. By creating the Max 1000 Draws we can ensure that everyone has an equal chance of being picked as a winner.

In a nutshell,

each user now has an increased chance

of being the Winner

And there will now be

Double the number of Winners

everyday!

So isn't it time you...
