MyVegas Facebook-game: myVEGAS - Earn points and get FREE show tickets & hotelnights

As far as winning more chips, it seems not playing high stakes gives me more return, but I have no math to back that up, just what it seems like. It also seems like in the beginning you want to get as many V as you can to build your strip, and get the residual chips. Perhaps once your daily income is high enough it is better to focus on accumulating loyalty points.

 

I'm at level 32, halfway through building Aria and have 8135 Loyalty Points. I'm hoping to get enough for the stay at New York-New York but the grind is getting old and the fun is really starting to seep out of it. Hopefully soon they can upgrade the game and add more machines and the "Property Upgrades" portion of the game.

 

Yeah, what really annoys me personally is how the number of those 'Vegas' symbols it takes to build casino components increase to absurd numbers. I'm at the same state of having Aria half-built and the 4th component is taking 75 to complete.

I know that video games often have to come up with some kind of a grind mechanic to extend the time required to 'complete' them, but this pretty absurd. I shudder to think how many pieces the last part of the MGM Grand is going to take - at the current progression I wouldn't be surprised if it was 300+.

If you do any more experiments about the loyalty points let us know, I think it may prove interesting to people (it certainly was to me, since it gave me something to compare my results to).

 

I am at level 44 now and got 17,7k loyalty points... You have to play for days and days if you do not want to pay for this game, like me.

When you have built all the resorts you can make a calculation on your own how much chips you get in one day. If you are around lvl 40-45 you have to bet 300 minimum to fill the 'coin' at the same time you did at lvl 20-30 while betting 150 chips.

You can imagine there is a max on how many chips you can generate in one day if you have built all the buildings. The higher level you go, the more you have to bet if you want to fill the 'coin' at the same time you did earlier. Otherwise you need more time and more spins.

The problem is that you have a max on coins in 1 day so the higher you go the difficulter it is to get loyalty points and the more time you need to invest. When you are lvl 20-30 this already cost LOADS of time, so grind your way up cost LOADS and LOADS MORE!

 

Out of curiosity, how much and at what frequency do the last three buildings generate chips?

 

Aria - 6 hours 2,2k
Mandalay Bay - 6 hours 2,6k
GM Grand - 8 hours 4k

 

Anyone playing the Caesar's game? As far as I can tell there are no free prizes to go after.

 

Hmmm...the MGM Grand has a "Suite Upgrade" for only 25,000 points. Is that just for one night or can I use it to cover four nights? It doesn't have any limitations listed on the little card.

 

I try to play the Caesars game but it locks up every time about half way through the game load. They are running a contest right now on it where you get an entry ticket each day that is for a free trip with spending cash and other amenities, I think only three days are left.

Gotta ask after seeing how far some are on the My Vegas how often do some of you play or have you bought chips? I am only at level 16 myself and around 2500 points, at this rate I might be able to get a free margarita at T&T :evillaugh

 

Unknown - I suppose you'd have to contact them to find out. It's also not clear whether you'd have to use it like an offer code, just getting a suite for a regular room price while making a reservation (not as good a deal, since you couldn't use other offers or comps), or can you use it on an existing reservation to upgrade it.

Several other rewards aren't clear on exactly what you get, such as what counts as 'dinner' at a given restaurant. But they have improved the descriptions of several of the rewards, such as now specifying what the Cirque tickest are good for (valid days and sections).

If I had to guess I'd say there are probably significant limitations, which makes it unfortunate that they're not spelled out before you commit to getting it.

 

How many people does a suite at the Grand sleep?

 

I am on the game right now and close to getting the last piece of MGM built - the last couple of casinos had some pieces at around 99 to 106 "V's" that you had to get for each piece, and there are about five or six different pieces you have to complete to get the whole thing "built". At least it is not 300+!!!

 

Odd that two nights at Mandalay Bay in a suite is 100,000 but two nights in a regular room at Monte Carlo is 150,000. I would think Mandalay would be more expensive.

 

Yeah, I have to say that the progression is really weird in that way. It starts of slowly increasing the required pieces, then one of the latter casinos (I think it may have been the Luxor) jumps from requiring 24 pieces to build the first part to 64 for the final one. I was doing that at the time, so I extrapolated that that trend would continue to further stretch out the end game, but as you noted, I can now see that the required number levels off again.

Still kind of weird, a more normalized progression would have made more sense.

I'd be willing to bet there's some catch (weeknights versus weekends?) that's not apparent in the text of the offers as they currently are. As I said, they only recently added explanations of limitations to the Cirque tickets, so I wouldn't be surprised if better descriptions of the hotel room rewards was upcoming.

Incidentally, I done a few more experiments and thought I'd share some more preliminary results.

1. As I indicated earlier, there's a big jump in spins required to get 10 loyalty points from moving from Level 29 to 30, but after that there has been no change so far from 30-36. My hypothesis is that it changes at 10 level intervals, which I'll be able to confirm in a couple of days.

2. There's huge differences in the games in terms of Loyalty Points earned VS Chips spent. As we've established, at Level 30, it takes 150 wagered X 22 spins = 3300 Chips to get 10 Loyalty Points with Excalibur, versus my tests indicating you need 100 wagered X 22 spins = 2200 Chips to get 10 Loyalty Points with Lucky Birds. If you're just playing for Loyalty Points (and really, who isn't mostly?), it's worth considering what you play carefully, especially since you actually want to avoid Level progression.

 

I've been grinding away with the Excalibur machine and then playing blackjack when my money gets low or I get sick of staring at the slots. Excalibur seems to "lose" chips at a slower pace than the other games.

 

That would be hard to prove mathematically, but just by collecting the free chips, I've been unable to get rid of them fast enough playing Lucky Birds at 100. What I mean is that whenever I'm able, I just set it to 50 spins and 100 each and have yet to really run out of chips. Quite possibly this is just personal luck.

However, there's something I wanted to ask other players pertaining to this - does the Blackjack seem rigged to you guys?

Usually when playing on practice games online, I tend to go up and down fairly predictably (with the inevitable slow progression down in the very long run), whereas I seem to lose uncommonly often in this game. Again, just a matter of personal experience and hard to say without taking time and effort for serious analysis, I just wanted to solicit some opinion.

 

In real life? What kind of suite? They have about 6 versions.

 

It just says "Upgrade to a Suite room" which I guess means the basic suite. And yes, in real life.

 

Okay. My guess is that it will be one of their low end suites, then, since it's an upgrade from a basic room. At the low end, they have 3 basic suites -- King, Queen, and Spa. At least that's what they had about 18 months ago, which is the last time I stayed there. I've stayed in 2 out of the 3...the Spa and the King. Both you could sleep 3 -- although I did not check to see if the sofa pulled out. In both there was a lot of unused space, so you might be able to get them to bring in a rollaway for a charge -- but I don't know since I didn't try. There was certainly plenty of space.

My guess is you could sleep four in a queen, if you were okay sharing beds. But that's just a guess since the king and queen cost about the same, so they are likely very similar.

My feeling is that if you wanted to put more than 4 in there, they would tell you no. But if you wanted to sleep people on the floor...well you could fit a lot into them. They legitimately run 600-700 square feet.

So as always, if you tell us what you want, we could tell you if it would work.
