    Hi,

    Wondering if anyone out there has ever won anything from these 300 Million Chip Giveaways that they run? And if so, how did you receive the reward?

    Does these damn things have lotto like odds, or should I stay up late dreaming?

    :)

    I usually don't even play these because I figure the odds are astronomical and I have plenty of chips. I usually wait for double xp or some of those puzzles where you're guaranteed to get chips.

    I'll rather play when I have a guaranteed bonus-win. Even if it is not in the millions (of chips)

    Thanks everyone. Would be nice to hit something big, and good to hear a few of you have won.

    I'll let you know in a few days when I win...

    NADA, and I also notice whenever they put out one of these promos, I get beat black and blue.....no great spins etc. I can go from 80k in chips to begging others for more in a matter of minutes.

    This time they're giving away 10 nexus 7's with from Nov 7 - 10, and ten more nexus 7's from Nov 11 - 14.

    I almost missed this cause I usually just click the link for free chips instead of reading it.

    A real prize :)

    eta: oh crazy, looks like there's a 5,000 ticket entry limit, instead of the usual 2,000. I have 1.65 mil chips, but I'm not even sure I can max out both entry periods. I'd hate to bust my roll, but its probably worth it...

    hmmm only 10 nexus 7.. and that thing is like worth $230 right?

    seems like a really bad investment... simply buy that thing yourself and save the chips for a more valuable promo.

    I agree. I just bought my mom a Nexus 7 for her birthday and while it's a great tablet, I wouldn't waste my chips for trying to get this.

    Eh, I dunno... its close.

    I never play slots, and it took about 2 months to build that stack from blackjack and hotel clicking. I don't play the chip giveaways anymore, nor the puzzle things, and double xp weekends are kinda rare nowadays.

    Things is I have more LP's than I can use (bout 300k). I figure I'll have one good run in the first drawing, and if I win nothing I'm ok with that.

    I'm hoping everyone burnt their chips on the double xp (recently iirc) and I'll be left standing as the sole survivor.
