From level 20 to level 30 I was actually making money off the Atlantis game. Once I reached level 30 the odds of winning drastically decreased and now my coins have been depleted in reaching the next two levels. Without some chance at winning, I don't want to continue with this app.

The odds went from about a 105% to a 40% return. I burned through 450K coins in those two levels. The Lucky 7 game sucks! I tried going back to Atlantis, but that game now has bad odds as well.

I only play the Lucky 7 now.. and only when I have golden spins. I I find the winnings on the L7 to be the best - but the item prizes seem to be fewer. I'm still making coins, but as I'm finished all the levels, I'm only playing to maintain my coinage.

I hope when new levels are available, all my spins will count in retrospect. Please BVG!? :haha:

I only play lucky 7 and something is not right, I used to be able to time the scatter feature pretty good and get X20 often, the last I would say 100 scatters landed on 10X, this is statistically not possible or nearly impossible, people are spending real money on this game and if a feature looks rigged, which this does it is very bad, theft bad. Please respond YoWorld Chiefs and explain, or just fix the issue, thanks a bunch.

This is ridiculous. I was hitting 500k from slots at the peak. In the last couple weeks, I am now down to nothing.

I am not complaining that I am not making 500k now. I am complaining because once you're level 30+ and no coins, it is taking forever to earn XP. 10 spins on max depletes 2 days worth of logging in every 4 hours, watching every ad and grabbing daily bonuses.

It really feels like BVG is going down the road of Zynga ... only caring about the big spenders. Ive spent 5x more with BVG than Zynga. Its not saying much TBH, but the fact is I was willing to spend more because BVG was making the game better. I just do not feel like thats the case anymore. Less and less people are playing. I am not threatening to leave, however I am certainly being more enticed to direct my attention elsewhere.

I also noticed the odds changed. Don't win as often as before and the gifts are harder to come by.

What really annoys me is that they don't put that in the change log, but it's so obvious that people would find out sooner or later.
Please Vikings, don't be 'that' business.

Funny I was just going to start this thread think it was just my bad luck.............. Something has changed....... No longer fun. Dinos are gone, cant make coins ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Just about fed up. After all wth does it hurt to give us faithful payers of yo a little break and something back for all the real money we have given to BVG.......... Thought they were going to give us something back but its just a gimik to suck more money out of us........ :grr

I thought it was just me. I'm almost bankrupt on the app, it's no fun to play anymore. The coins you get from bonuses/watching videos only gets you a couple of spins and it will be impossible to sustain play when you are always in the hole.

I started using the app yesterday, now I am at level 12. Till now things were good, but I'm not winning anything anymore. Gold spins are useless, normal spins are beyond useless and when you don't win, you can't progress so there's no point playing anymore.
I am also stuck at level 13 (completed) on jewel game. It won't unlock level 14.

Vikings please respond this situation because frankly, there is no point of playing the app anymore if I get 20k from videos and bonuses a day but I lose about 70k in the 10 golden spins... every day.

I've lost too must so I cashed out and uninstalled because there's definitely a change you've made with the odds and didn't not tell the community.

I managed to get to level 40 and the max in all the jewel games. It's possible.. keep trying. Play Emerald City for low coins and build up. that's what I did. When you get on to Lucky 7 you have more chances of winning it seems. Enjoy! I did. :haha:

You must have done all these before they changed the odds and ruined some other stuff. Jewel game is totally bugged at the moment and spins are one way ticket to absolute losing streak.

I only played the emerald one, because I gained more, but now, all the coins are going away really fast and the gifts are more rare. :sad:

Ah, but I'm still playing.. o_o

I had 10 Golden spins first thing this morning. I won on the 5th and again later... I ended up with about the same amount I'd started with, I'm still sitting with approx the same balance after playing a few times today. All I'm doing is maintaining my balance at the moment so I'll have coins if the game ever updates. and i hope my hundreds of spins will count towards new levels. Let's just say I'm sadly addicted...
But I read somewhere there were new gifts? If so I'll play Emerald city with fewer coins.. that's the way I used to wind all my Brontos and humpties when they were available. Good luck/
