We are excited to invite our players to join us in Bejeweled Blitz Party, where you can team up with a friend to earn coins and show off your mad Bejeweling skills!

You can enter Party mode through the icon on your navigation bar just above the game.  If you have a number by the logo, there are Party invitations or results already waiting for you!

How to Play: Start a Game with a Friend!

Click "Pick Friend" to launch the Bejeweled Blitz Friend Picker.  You can choose a friend who already plays Bejeweled Blitz or challenge a friend who doesn't play (or maybe hasn't for a while) by switching to the "All Friends" tab.  Just select the friend you'd like to play with to get started.  

Bejeweled Blitz Party will now create a challenge specially tailored to you and your friend! The Team Goal is based on previous Party scores achieved by both players, so you can look forward to a challenge made just for the two of you!  If you have never played a game in Party mode before, you'll start off with a default challenge, but once you've got some experience, you will be able to watch your goals increase as the game learns how skilled you are!

Under the Team Goal meter, you will also see a set of three elite bonus goals, quantities of certain special gems you can create during the game in order to win an even greater prize!

Next, you'll choose your Boosts for the game, just as you normally would.  Remember that the Mystery Gem boost grants you one special gem at the start of the game, and that special gem does count toward your elite goals!  (Note: Rare Gems cannot be used in Blitz Party, so you won't see any Rare Gem offers appear.)

Once you have selected your Boosts, you will play your round of Bejeweled Blitz.  How high did you advance the score on your Team Goal meter?  How many special gems did you earn toward the elite goals?  Are you satisfied with your contribution toward the team effort, or would you like to try again before sending your friend the invitation?

If you click "Send Score," your score will be counted officially, and your friend will be notified that it is their turn to play a round with you in Bejeweled Blitz Party!  If you click "Try Again," you will have another shot at earning a higher score for your team.  But remember, there's no going back to that previous score once you hit "Try Again!"  (If you fail to hit "Try Again" before time counts down, it's the same as hitting "Send Score."  Your score will be saved and your invitation sent.)

After your friend plays their round, you will be notified of the final results so you can collect your winnings.  Even if you didn't reach the Team Goal, you will still be rewarded if you have reached a certain percentage toward the goal and/or achieved the elite bonus goals!

How to Play: Accept an Invitation from a Friend!

If you've received a Blitz Party invitation, then you have a friend who wants your skills on their side for a great quest to earn Coins and glory!  

When you are invited to play, your friend has already paid a Token to initiate the round, so all you need to do is take your turn!   On the Play tab of your Blitz Party Games List, you will see the game invitation.  Click on it to accept and play, and you will see the Team Goal Meter and elite bonus goals to see what you would need to do to make this a successful Blitz Party!  Has your partner already achieved the high score requirement but failed to make any Flame gems along the way? Maybe your focus this round should be making as many Flame gems as possible to satisfy that bonus goal!  

Once you have played your round, you are given the choice to submit your score or Try Again for one Token.  

What are Tokens?

Each game of Bejeweled Blitz Party costs one Token to initiate.  When you select a friend to start your game with, you use one Token to play the game and send them the invitation. They will not pay a Token in order to accept the invitation and play their round, because your one Token pays for both players to play one round each.  If either player chooses to "Try Again" however, that player will pay another Token for each subsequent attempt they make before hitting "Send Score" and submitting their game.

All players will receive 5 free Tokens for Blitz Party as a gift to get started!  After that, each day you visit Blitz Party, you can initiate one free game per day with a friend!  To play more than one game in Party per day, you can purchase additional Tokens.

Blitz Party Games List

The Blitz Party Games List gives you a quick path to your in-progress games as well as your rewards that are waiting to be collected.  Review your messages on both the Play and Collect tabs for new games and rewards!

		The Play tab lists any games you have been invited to play by a friend.
		The Collect tab displays the results of recently completed games--don't forget to collect your Coins and see how you did on the challenge!
		The Sent tab lists the games you have initiated with friends who have yet to take their turn, and you can use the Remind button to nudge your friends.

Be sure to check back regularly so you don't miss out on games or rewards--Blitz Party requests will expire after 7 days.  

Collecting your Coins!

If you have completed a game with a friend, you may have Coins waiting for you in your Blitz Party Games List hub!  Click on the Collect tab to find out.  If you and your partner achieved the Team Score and/or the elite bonus goals, you'll receive Coins to reward you! 

New High Payout Option!

When you start a round in Party mode, you now have the option to play for more Coins!  Click the arrow beside the payout display to scroll through your possible choices.  It costs more Tokens to play the high payout games, but you can win vastly more Coins for doing so!  Where 1 Token can win you up to 10,000 Coins, 5 Tokens can win you up to 75,000, and 10 can win you up to 175,000!  

The initial Token cost pays for each player's first attempt.  If either player chooses to try again, the second attempt will be fewer than the initial cost but more than the standard single Token cost of replaying a standard game.

In Bejeweled Blitz, your basic goal is to swap pairs of gems in order to create sets of three or more, just as in any other version of Bejeweled.  Since Blitz gives you only one minute, it's all about speed, strategy, and making the best moves in every moment to score as high as you can in a very short time and beat your friends to the top spot on the Leaderboard!

The board is an 8 x 8 grid of gems. When you swap gems to make sets of three or more, the matched gems disappear, allowing more gems to fall into place from above. Matches of 4 or more create powerful Special Gems.

Special Gems

		Flame Gems are created by matching a set of four gems. Flame Gems explode when matched, destroying themselves along with all eight surrounding gems.
		Hypercubes are created by making a line of five gems. Hypercubes can be matched to any adjacent gem regardless of color, and doing so destroys all gems of that color on the board. This is a great way to detonate a Multiplier Gem that is not near any sets of its own color!
		Star Gems are created by making a T- or L-shaped match. Star Gems, when matched, destroy all gems along vertical and horizontal lines from their own position.
		Multiplier Gems are created by clearing a dozen or more gems at the same time. Once you have a Multiplier Gem on the board, match it as quickly as possible to multiply your score for the rest of the game.  There are up to eight Multiplier Gems you can earn per game if you're fast enough with your matches!
		Coin Gems appear only on yellow gems.  Their appearance is random, meaning that you cannot take any special action to generate them, but matching them helps you earn Coins for buying Boosts!

Tokens are used for playing rounds of Blitz Party.  

Each round of Blitz Party you initiate with a friend costs one Token, and that Token pays for both players to play once each--your friend will not have to spend a Token to accept your invitation!

If both players choose to submit their initial scores, the whole round is paid for with that single Token. Only if either player wants to try again for a better score will that player pay an additional Token.

You will receive five free Tokens to use when you first start playing Blitz Party.  Then, each day you visit Blitz Party, you are able to initiate one free Party round with a friend.  These daily games don't store up, though, so be sure to play your free game every day!

You can purchase more Tokens by clicking the purple + symbol beside your Token balance. 

Tokens are separate from Coins and cannot be exchanged or used interchangeably.

Welcome to the beautiful island home of Solitaire Blitz!  It's an idyllic setting for you to start a new career as a treasure hunter!  In this peaceful tropical locale, you are one of many trolling the depths in search of rare and valuable artifacts.  

Treasure-hunting is so popular here that even local wildlife want to get into the game!  You'll find birds, fish, even worms eager to join you on your quest and lend a hand...well, a metaphorical hand.  You'll be lent plenty of fins, flippers, tentacles, wings....

Otis the worm is one of your best buddies below the waves!  When he swings in at the end of a game, take a moment to click on him to claim your treasure!  If you forget to click on "Claim Treasures," don't worry--earned silver is still automatically added as long as you complete the game.  But if you don't click on Otis, you won't get to see the values of your discoveries!   Another option is to click on your treasures one by one to see their worth.

Otis gets particularly excited for you when you've found especially rare and exotic treasures!  When he does a little dance for you, you've uncovered something that would be the envy of your fellow treasure hunters!  

Otis' best friend is Pearl, the mermaid, your trusty tour guide through the deep!  Count on her to keep you informed of new and important features as you navigate the deep blue sea.

The Basics

There are four Time Lines in each hand, and each one you uncover adds an extra 20 seconds to the clock.

• More like this

Silver

There are many treasures under the sea, from shells and crabs to pirate chests and royal regalia.  Recovering these treasures will earn you Silver, the standard currency of the seven seas.  The rarer the treasure, the higher its value!  Some treasures will be special Quest items to help you reach your goals and earn greater rewards!  Silver is what you need in order to buy boosts that will enhance your game.

Boosts help you win the game and/or get a higher score that you would have earned without them.  You have a chance to buy them before each hand.  Some boosts are better suited for beginners (like “Extra Time” which gives you another 30 seconds to play).  Others are better for strategic players (like “Run Finder” which gives you extra information about what’s underneath the top card).  See the Boosts FAQ to learn more about all the possibilities!

Energy

It takes Energy to dive for treasure!   You start with 5 units of Energy, and each hand consumes one.  Fortunately, as soon as you drop below the maximum, Energy begins to replenish.  In a few minutes, you’ll be back up to full.

To help each other out, you and your friends can send free Energy to each other, above and beyond the maximum.  Just click their names on the leaderboard to instantly send one unit of Energy per friend per day.  Also, extra Energy is always available for purchase in the Shop.  Energy that you purchase or receive from friends goes into your “Energy Bank,” where it’s saved until you’re ready to use it.  

Banked Energy

Using your banked energy is as simple as clicking Play just as you normally do!  There are no extra steps required.  If you have no more regular energy available, the next time you play, it will simply draw from your bank instead.

Build Piles – The destination piles for the cards in your Stacks.  You start with just one build pile, but you can unlock two more as you play by finding Key Cards.

Boosts – Boosts are special powers you can use to earn a higher score and enhance your game.  They can give you extra time, extra cards, extra fish, extra jokers and more!  Try different Boosts, to find the ones that best suit your style of play.

Card Multiplier – The Card Multiplier affects all the points you earn from playing cards. Whenever you find a fish, that indicates the card multiplier has gone up by one (from x1 to x2, for example).  The maximum multiplier is x9.    

Deck – Also sometimes referred to as the Draw Pile, the Deck is where the remainder of the cards are placed after dealing out the Stacks.  Play from the deck whenever you run out of moves, but be careful!  This pile will run out of cards, and you can only go through it once. You can draw from the deck either by clicking on it or by hitting the spacebar on your keyboard.

Decks – All decks of cards are the same on the front (4 suits of 13 cards, plus 2 jokers).  But they can have different backs with very different art.  Play with your favorite!  You earn new decks as quest rewards, and there are premium decks available for purchase in the shop!   

Energy – One unit of Energy is consumed with every deal of the cards.  Energy recharges at a steady rate, up to a maximum of 5.  Additional energy bought in the shop or received as gifts is stored in a separate bank, drawn from only when your regular energy is zero.  Your current energy level is indicated by a meter on the map.

Fish – Every time you see a Fish in the game, it means your Multiplier has increased.  

Free Gifts – Once per day per friend, you can send Energy by clicking on their name on your Leaderboard.  In addition, you can click the Daily Gift button on the game's menu bar to send friends special treasures! 

Key Card – Two cards randomly placed among the Stacks have ribbons on them, indicating that they are Key Cards.  Each key card will unlock an additional build pile for you to play on.

Leaderboard – The Leaderboard displays all of your friends who are playing the game, their highest score this week, and the card back they’re currently using.  Click on a friend’s name to send them a free unit of Energy!

Messages – If your friend sends you a gift or requests help, you will find it in your Messages.  If you have messages waiting, this screen will appear automatically at the start of the game.

Quest item – Among the Treasures you will find at the bottom of the Stacks will be specific items you collect to complete Quests in Solitaire Blitz Lost Treasures.  Collect all the Quest items to earn big rewards, such as Silver, Energy, Decks, and Boosts!

Shop – You can buy Energy, Silver, Boosts and Decks in the Shop.  These items can be purchased with Facebook Credits.  The Shop offers many exclusive items that you won’t find anywhere else in the game.

Silver – Silver is the currency of Solitaire Blitz.  It lets you buy Boosts for your hand and can also be used to buy some items in the Shop.  Your current Silver balance is indicated by a meter on the map.

Stacks – The cards are dealt out into seven Stacks at the start of the game.  To clear each stack, you must move the cards onto the build piles.  Each stack conceals a treasure buried beneath.   

Stopwatch – You have just 60 seconds to clear the cards from the Stacks, and the Stopwatch tracks your time.

Time Lines – There are four Time Lines in each hand, at depths of 1, 4, 7 and 10 cards.  When you clear all the cards above a Time Line, 20 seconds are added to the clock.

Treasure – Shells, crabs, jewelry, antiques, and many more mysterious things await you on the ocean floor, concealed by the stacks of cards.  If you clear all of the cards in a stack, you can pick up its Treasure.  The treasures are instantly converted to Silver.

If you're used to playing the game already on Facebook, here are some things you'll need to know to get the most out of the iOS version of the game.

When you first install Solitaire Blitz on your iOS device, you will begin with 5 units of Energy and 25000 Silver.  You can purchase more in the Shop.

You will go through the tutorial when you first play, even if you logged in to Facebook on the first prompt.  Don't worry--it won't take long, and you'll learn about the features specific to this version.  For instance, if you were used to the keyboard shortcut of using your spacebar to draw from your deck, you'll be happy to discover the touchscreen equivalent!  A simple swipe will draw from your deck.

Your Silver and Energy balances will sync between Facebook and iOS when you log in.  If you then continue play on your iOS device in offline mode, perhaps due to losing your active Internet connection, your balance will sync again the next time your Internet signal is strong enough.  

Some game data syncs with Facebook, but some is stored locally on your device.  

• Decks
  
  That means you won't have all the decks available on your device that you are used to seeing when you play on Facebook.  Unlocking a deck on your device will not also make it available on Facebook.  Also, if you play the game on both your iPhone and your iPad, the decks will not sync between the two devices.
   
• Win streaks
  Since your win streak is stored only on your device, losing a game on the device will not affect your win streak on Facebook!  Winning a game on your device won't increase the streak on Facebook either, of course, but it's good to maintain an uninterrupted streak in public, right?!  Similarly, if you have multiple devices you are playing on, the streaks will not sync between them either.

If you've never played Zuma Blitz, here's what you need to know to get started. Follow the links from this FAQ to go in-depth on any topic!  And check out the Zuma Blitz glossary for more info on any of the terms used here.

Each week, Zuma Blitz presents a new board, with a new background design and a new layout of curves. Every board has its own unique challenges, but they all start with the same basic features: 

• Tunnels - from whence the balls roll
• Skulls - toward which the balls roll

Your game can end in two ways, whichever one happens first:

1. Your time runs out 
2. The balls reach the Skull

Time constraints: brevity is the soul of Blitz!

In Zuma Blitz, you have one minute to score as many points as you can. Watch for balls marked with an hourglass.

These are called Time balls, and each Time ball you match adds additional time to your game clock. You can use the Sands of Time powerup to get even more time for each Time ball. 

Try to keep your game going as long as possible to earn more points, and make sure never to let the balls reach the Skull at the end of the curve!

Making a match: the raison d'etre of the Zuma frog!

As balls roll out along the curve, you need to make matches to clear them off the board. You create a match by shooting the ball in your frog's mouth at a row of 2 or more balls that are the same color. 

Matches can have a cascading effect as well! If you shoot a single ball that causes multiple consecutive matches, that's called a Combo, and it's worth extra points.

Check out the image below.

In this case, the current ball is yellow, and firing it in the direction shown by the laser will cause a match with the two yellow balls on the curve.

Once the yellow balls are cleared from the board, the red balls on either side will collapse together. As you can see, there are more than three red balls in a row, so the red balls will also be cleared off the board. Your single shot caused more than one match (in this case two), so you will get a Combo bonus!

Swapping balls: Zuma frog always keeps a trick in his back pocket!

The current ball is always the one in your frog's mouth. The next ball is shown on your frog's back. If you look at the example below, the current ball is red and the next ball is yellow.

Sometimes you may not have a great move available with the current ball, so rather than waste a shot or break your chain, try swapping the current ball and the next ball!

To swap your current and next balls, you can either hit the spacebar or you can right-click your mouse (anywhere on the board).

Multipliers: making points much pointier since 1884! *

Watch for balls marked with X and a number.

Those are Multiplier balls, and they help you earn double, triple, quadruple (and so on) points for every match you make. The maximum multiplier is x9, and if you reach it, every match will earn you nine times its standard value. To increase your multiplier, you need to match the special multiplier balls that come out on the curve. When you match a multiplier, any future matches will be scored based on that new multiplier.

There are a number of strategies you can employ to get a high score in Zuma Blitz.  Here are some of the important bonus opportunities to take advantage of:

Maximize points with Multipliers!
		Among the many special balls in the game, pay special attention to the multipliers, and shoot them as quickly as you can once they appear!

Once you activate a multiplier, it immediately starts doubling every point you score (then tripling, quadrupling, quintupling, and so forth)!  In addition to expediting the effect of the point multiplier itself, shooting the multiplier ball currently on the board will allow the next one to start spawning. The sooner you get a x2, the sooner you will be able to get a x3!

Compound your coup de grace by maintaining your Chain!
		Each consecutive match you make adds to the length of the Chain. Once your Chain reaches 6, you will start earning an extra 100+ points for every match you make until you break your Chain.

When you break your Chain by missing a shot, you will have to rebuild to 6 matches before the bonus applies again.  

• Shooting Fruit doesn't break your Chain...as long as you successfully hit the Fruit!
• Powerups and special shots such as Cannon, Color Nuke, and Hot Frog blasts also do not affect your Chain in any way; these shots don't count to add to your Chain, but they also don't break it.  
• Wild Shot does count toward your Chain, but it cannot break it, since any shot you take will be an instant match!

Cleverly curtail a rollout for a Curve Clear bonus!
		When you clear all the balls all the way to the mouth of one of the tunnels, you get a Curve Clear bonus.  The later in the game you clear the curve, the more points you earn!

This is a great use for your Hot Frog blasts, particularly with Cannonballs combined, as you can use that widespread explosive power to cut straight through huge sections of balls and wipe the curve to nothing!  Try Ignition Sauce to really increase the explosive potential!

Feast on Fruit for fabulous fortune!
		Every curve has at least one place where Fruit will appear. The first time you play a tournament board, figure out where the Fruit spawn so you can set up Gap Shots to hit them. Each Fruit you hit is worth more points than the one before.

Listen for the tell-tale sound effect that heralds the appearance of Fruit.  If you wait until you spot it visually, it may be too late to execute a plan to clear the balls in front of it and take a shot.  If you start planning your shot based on where you know the Fruit can appear as soon as you hear the sound effect, you can get it every time!

Remember that you can shoot the Fruit with any color ball, and it won't break your Chain unless you miss.

There are many ways to clear a Fruit:

• Shoot any ball to hit the Fruit.
• Shoot a fireball straight through the curve to hit it when you have Hot Frog.
• Shoot a cannonball at it when you have Cannon.
• Cause an explosion close enough to the Fruit to explode it.  (This one is tricky, because the epicenter of the blast has to be near enough to the Fruit to affect it. Just because the blast took out the balls in front of the Fruit doesn't mean it was close enough to hit the Fruit as well.)

If we do not ever take time, how can we ever have time? (as the Merovingian says)
		Another factor that can greatly increase your score is extra time. The more Time balls you match, the longer your game lasts, and the more time you have to rack up points!

Know your weaknesses.  Take advantage of the Powers and Food that will make up for your shortcomings.

• Do you often run out of time before getting Hot Frog? Scarf down some Key Time Pie to add precious seconds to the clock.  If you've unlocked the Sands of Time powerup, you can maximize each time ball as well!
• Are you likely to miss shots when aiming for small bunches of balls?  Snack on a Candy Lei to get bigger clusters.
• Do you often get sidetracked dealing with one curve while the other gets out of control heading toward the skull? Use Color Nuke, Bombs, or Cannon to clear a lot of balls fast.

Even better: Know your strengths. Use Powers and Food that complement your style and make the most of your abilities.

• Are you a fast shooter? Get Speed Shot and be even faster.
• Do you set up lots of Gap Shots? Buy Gapple Sauce to get more points for each Gap Shot.
• Do you rarely miss shots? Get Chain Blast so you earn more points for consecutive matches!
• Are you the type who never misses Fruit? Use the Fruit Master powerup & nibble on a Kiwi Kebab to make Fruit appear far more often!

Make the most of each powerup!  Wild Shot and Color Nuke are great powerups. They're immensely useful tools and possibly the most versatile in your arsenal!  But if you're indecisive when they activate, they can become a hindrance rather than a help.  Don't let yourself pause to evaluate all the options when you're playing with these powerups--trust your instincts and maintain your momentum.  

Use your knowledge of the future to influence the now!  You always know what your next two shots will be, thanks to the visual aid of the frog's mouth and back.  You always have the option to swap those shots, thanks to right-click/spacebar.  Keep an eye out for ways to use that foresight to your scoring advantage!  Maybe both colors you are about to play have shots available on adjacent tracks of your curve!  You can use the first ball to open a gap and then without pausing, fire the next shot, knowing it will pass through the gap to match the balls just beyond!

Finally, try various combinations of Powers and Food.  You can use them to amplify or complement each other.  If you have Bombs, Cannon, and Chain Blast active on your Powers menu, try adding Pyro Popcorn to make all of those explosions bigger!  Don't like playing without Speed Shot but already have three other Powers selected?  Add Hasty Pudding to make up for not having Speed Shot enabled!  There are so many possibilities, and exploring them will help you hone your own play style.  You may be surprised what combinations lead to your highest scores yet!

Lucky Gem Casino is a free to play Vegas-style slot game. Your “bet” is based on how many matching symbols will appear on the pre-defined “winlines” once the spinning reels come to a stop. The more lines you play per spin, the more chances you have to win!

There are five vertical “reels” per slot. Winning symbol combinations always start from the left hand reel and must be adjacent to each other on a selected winline. Before you spin, you can hover over any winline number along the right or left side of the reels to display a colored line showing the path that winline will travel.

Step 1: Set your Coinsize

There are two elements to your bet—the number of lines you will play on, and the amount you would like to wager per line. When you first launch the slot, there is a default Coinsize selected for you, which will vary based on your level in the game. You can adjust the Coinsize to your preferred amount by clicking the + or – buttons beside the Coinsize display.

If you select a Coinsize of 5 and play on a single winline, your total wager for the spin will be 5.

If you select a Coinsize of 5 and play on ten winlines, your total wager for the spin will be 50.

Step 2: Select your Winlines

When you first launch the slot, a single winline is selected by default. If you click Spin without making any adjustments, you will spin with only one line active. To set a specific number of winlines, you can click the colored numbers on the right and left side of the reels. Another way to adjust your number of winlines is to click the BET ONE button. This button will add one line at a time and display its colored path across the reels. If you click the BET ONE button too many times, it will eventually cycle back to a single winline.

Most slots offer a BET MAX button that can be used to automatically select all available winlines. Note that this button will also automatically initiate the spin itself, so it is important that you have already set your Coinsize to the preferred amount.

Step 3: Spin! Win!?!

Once you have set your preferred Coinsize and number of winlines, you can click the SPIN button (or BET MAX if you want to play on all winlines) to initiate your spin. When the reels come to a stop, you will be shown the paths of any winning combinations on your lines!
Winning combinations always start from the left and will consist of three or more matching symbols. To understand the values of the symbols, you can view the game’s Paytable at any time. The Paytable will also show you the special symbols for each slot, such as Wild, Scatter, and any Bonus symbols. Wild typically substitutes for any standard symbol to create a winning combination, but it cannot substitute for a special symbol such as Scatter or Bonus.

How to Read a Paytable

Each slot has a Paytable button (typically located either beside BET MAX or just below the reels) which offers the payout values for winning combinations as well as brief descriptions of bonus features.

The values shown on the Paytable indicate the multiplier that will be applied to your Coinsize in the event of a winning combination.

If your Coinsize is 5, and your winline has 3 matching symbols, the “x3” number listed beside that symbol in the Paytable will be applied to your Coinsize. If the “x3” number is 5, then your win for that line is 25.

Special Symbol: Scatter

Scatter symbols are a very special bonus opportunity for extra coin payouts! Unlike all other paying symbols, Scatters do not need to appear on winlines but can be scattered across the reels in any position. This also means they are only matched to themselves and cannot be substituted with Wilds of any kind. When you win with a Scatter combo, you have truly hit a jackpot! Scatter wins apply the multiplier value shown on the Paytable to both your Coinsize and your number of winlines.

Not every slot has a Scatter symbol. Some slots offer Scatter only in Bonus Rounds or Free Spins. See each slot’s Paytable and/or FAQ for details.

Bonus Rounds

Each slot in Lucky Gem Casino offers unique bonus rounds and mini-games based on the graphics and gameplay of the original PopCap or Hasbro games!  The Paytable on each slot will provide some details on the bonus features, and there is an individual FAQ for each game to walk you through in full.

Experience Points (XP)

Each spin you make on any slot grants you Experience Points, or XP. As you collect XP, you will reach new levels in the game and gain a higher position on your leaderboard. Best of all, leveling up unlocks new slots!

Badges

Throughout the game, you will receive notifications of badges you are earning for your achievements.

Each slot has a set of badges based on specific criteria (Such as: 5x Any Symbol: awarded for winning with any 5 symbols). To learn the requirements for a particular badge, click on that badge’s icon in the ‘Badges’ section (located under the XP display). The stars indicate the number of times the accomplishment must be completed in order to receive the badge. If there are three stars, and one is yellow, that means you have hit this goal once and must do so two more times.

When you win the badge, you will be offered the chance to share Coins with your friends by posting the achievement to your wall!

Better still, once you have earned all the badges for a particular slot, you will win a new Trophy and receive a huge Coin bonus yourself!

Trophies

Trophies are like badges that eat all their vegetables and pump a lot of iron. They grant you Coins when you earn them, and they look great on your (virtual) shelf!

There are trophies for each slot as well as trophies for achievements that add up across all slots. It takes a lot longer to earn a trophy than a badge, but the rewards can be epically huge! Make it to the top of the leaderboard and you can win the Top of the World trophy, which pays out 100,000 Coins!

To learn the requirements for a trophy, click on the icon in the ‘Trophies’ section (located under the XP display).

Sharing is caring! Friends who spin together win together! Chatting is…fun. (If you have a good rhyme for this one, post it to the wall or on the forums!)

The more friends you have playing the game, the more fun it will be for everyone! You can send each other Coins by posting your badges or by clicking on your friends’ names in your leaderboard. Sharing Coins is free to you and doesn’t take away any Coins from your own balance!

There are chat rooms in Lucky Gem Casino as well, so you can keep in touch with your friends and get to know other players while you spin! The lingo is pretty distinctive, but you’ll catch on quick, and it’s a friendly environment, so introduce yourself, and feel free to ask about anything you don’t understand.

The chat rooms can be accessed by playing in full-screen mode.

To enter full-screen mode, click on the four diagonal arrows icon at the upper right above the game.

Each chat room can hold up to 100 players. The chat rooms are not specific to any one slot, so you can change which slot you are playing without leaving the chat room, as long as you don’t exit full-screen mode.

Bejeweled Blitz Cascades is a whole new kind of spin!  Rather than choosing winlines to bet on, you automatically win based on the gem matching that occurs on the board!

Gem Payouts & Flaming Gems

Any match of four or more gems in a row will make a Flaming Gem, which will immediately explode and destroy all gems in the adjacent squares.  If you're familiar with Bejeweled Blitz, you may be wondering why you only see Flaming Gems, not different special gems based on the number of gems matched at a time.  Well, the number and formation of gems in the match will increase your payout instead!  

		Where you are used to seeing Power Gems, you will now get a x2 to your winnings.
		The formations for Star Gems pay in two different amounts: L-shape combinations equal a x4 payout...
		...and T-shape combinations grant you a x8!
		As for the elusive Hypercube, 5 gems in a row pay at x20!
		A standard three gem match pays x0.5.

Boosts

Below the board, you will see the following buttons beside Spin.  These buttons can be clicked to engage special boosts for your next spin!

		The lock boost allows you to select one color of gem that will remain on the board at the end of your next spin.
		The X3 boost applies a x3 multiplier to your winnings for this spin!
		The up arrow indicates the Bonus Meter boost, which starts your meter off one-third full at the beginning of your next spin.
		Click Get Boosts from Friends to ask for help and share Coins at the same time!

Clicking any of the three boost buttons also engages your Spin.  There is no confirmation or option to cancel once you click the boost button.  It is only possible to engage one boost at a time.  

Boosts recharge over time.  Once you engage any boost, you will see a timer appear on that boost icon to let you know how long before you can use that boost again.  If your friends have given you Boosts, you will see a higher number than the standard 1 on the icon to let you know how many of each boost you have available for use. 

Lock Boost

Clicking the Lock boost button will trigger a Spin.  At the end of the Spin, the gems will pulse. Mouse over the board to see a lock symbol appear over the gems.  Choose a gem of the color you want to keep, then click to engage the lock.  That color will remain on the board while the others are removed.  Strategy tip: choose a color to keep that will cause cascades--look for gems that will fall into a parallel line beside each other once all obstacles are removed.

Get Boosts from Friends

Click this button to launch the Friend Selector.  You can select up to 50 friends at a time, once per 24 hour period, and send a request for Boosts.  The friends get Coins in the bargain!  This allows you to do your daily sharing and requesting all in one action!

The Boosts your Friends send to you are random; there is no way to select which type of Boosts you want to give or receive.

Bonus Game

The Bonus Game is triggered by filling up the bonus meter to the right of the board.  The meter fills as your gems match and cascade.  If you see three matches cascade within a single spin, you go to the Bonus Round!

Once the Bonus Round starts, you have 45 seconds to make as many cascades as you can. Click Drop to refresh your board with a new gem configuration.  Each time you refresh the board, you have the chance to make matches, cascades, and explosions to earn bonus Coins!

Blitz Reward Meter

Randomly, Blitz Coins will appear among the gems on your board.  These are collected and counted in the meter on the lefthand side of the board.  Fill this meter to earn prizes such as Rare Gems for use in Bejeweled Blitz!

Welcome to Monopoly Party, the Spin where you can take a Chance, ride the Reading, and even score some Free Parking!  Play up to 25 lines across five reels, and send free gifts to your friends!

Tokens

When you start Monopoly Party Spin, you are asked to select a Token.  All Tokens are symbols that can appear on the Reels during play, and the Token you select will become an automatic x2 multiplier every time it appears on a winning line.  Note: this applies only on the Main Slot, not the Bonus Round.

Bonus Collectibles

Every Spin brings the chance to receive Bonus Collectibles!  Win or Lose, if the Reels contain Houses, Railroads, or Utilities, you will receive those items to store up for use in your next Bonus Round.  There is a limit to how many of these items can be collected and stored:

• 40 Houses
• 4 Railroads
• 1 Electric Company
• 1 Water Works

If you leave the game before reaching a Bonus Round, your Collectibles will still be there next time you play.

Bonus Game

Three or more Bonus symbols trigger a bonus game.  Your Bet size in the Bonus Round is based on your Bet size and number of Lines in the Main Slot.  The Bonus Round Bet size is displayed at the upper left corner of the game at all times.

How to Play the Bonus Round

When your Bonus Round begins, you may place any Houses and/or Railroads you have collected on the board.  The Houses are placed on Properties.  Doing so claims the Properties as your own and adds a Multiplier to your winnings whenever you land on those squares.  Two Houses equals a x2 Multiplier, three Houses equal x3, four equal x4, and five Houses become one Hotel.  If you have Railroads to place, they may be placed one per Railroad station.  For Railroads, you receive a x2 Multiplier if you have one, x3 if you have two, x4 if you have three, and x5 if you have all four.  Utilities grant a x2 Multiplier if you have only one, x5 if you have both.  The Utilities are automatically placed for you.

Any Properties where you have not placed Houses will be populated by your friends! Landing on friends’ Properties will offer you the option to send them a Gift.  You can send one Gift per friend per Bonus Round.

Once all your Collectibles are placed, the Bonus Round will begin.  Click to roll the dice; each roll is also a spin!  The spin determines what winnings may be earned and potentially multiplied based on where you land.  If you land on a friend’s Property or an unoccupied square such as an unowned Railroad or Community Chest, your potential winnings will be solely determined by the single Spin itself.  If you land on your own Property, however, the Auto Spin till You Win function will engage, spinning the reels over and over until a winning combination is achieved!  Those winnings will be multiplied based on any collectibles you have placed on those Properties.

Special Squares

Landing on the Community Chest or Chance squares will draw a card from those piles and reward the bonus and/or play out the action on the card. If you receive a Get Out of Jail Free card, it will be saved for you to extend your Bonus Round!

Passing Go earns you a bonus based on your current Bet size.

Free Parking is a free space where you earn the winnings of your Spin with no Multiplier and no risk of going to Jail.

If you land on the Jail itself, you may be offered the option to send a free Get Out of Jail Free card to a friend who is currently in Jail!  It’s a nice thing to do!

Landing on the Go to Jail square sends you to Jail.

Ending the Bonus Round

The Bonus Round continues until you go to Jail.  This happens if you land on the Go to Jail square OR if you roll doubles three times in a row.  If you have any Get Out of Jail Free cards available, they will be automatically played for you to continue your Bonus Round. When you go to Jail and have no Get Out of Jail Free cards remaining, your Bonus Round ends.

Welcome to Battleship Jackpot Command, the explosive Spin where your friends can help you fight the unseen enemy ships!  Play between 10 and 50 lines across five reels, and send gifts to your friends!  

The minimum number of bet lines in this slot is 10, and the maximum is 50. They can be increased or decreased in increments of 5 by using the + and - symbols below the reels. To automatically choose all 50, simply click Bet Max (please be sure to have selected your desired Coin size first, as the Bet Max button will automatically spin the reels as well). The only way to view the paylines individually is in the Paytable (located above the reels at the left corner).

Exploding Wilds and Expanding Ships, oh my!

Wilds are explosive in Battleship Jackpot Command!  When you find a Wild on your spin, it will explode, turning that entire reel into one big Wild!  Wilds will substitute for any symbol other than Bonus.  Wilds will also not complete an Expanding Ship Bonus formation; those must always be comprised entirely of the ship symbols.

The Ship symbols have a special bonus win opportunity available if they appear together on a horizontal line.  Five Carrier symbols along the same horizontal line represent the number of hits you would have made to sink a Carrier, so you are massively rewarded for having "symbolically" done so on the reels!  The number of adjacent symbols required for this expanding ship bonus is based on the size of the ship.  See the Paytable for details. Note: Wilds cannot be part of a line of ships to earn this bonus; it only pays out for the full line of ship symbols.  

Bonus Game

Three Bonus symbols appearing on reels 2, 3, & 4 will trigger a bonus game.  The three Bonus symbols will then invite you to choose one of them.  Each symbol conceals a number between 1 and 4, and your selection will tell you how many Gunners you have available to you for the Bonus Round.  Once you have made your choice, you advance to the Bonus Round board, a classic Battleship battleground with cloaked targets hidden on the board!  

How to Play the Bonus Round

Four Gunners at the bottom of the board, representing your friends who also play Lucky Gem Casino, await your command to "Fire!"  When you select a Gunner to fire for you, you will discover how many shots he has in his arsenal, and he will fire at the board.  Any ships that are damaged in his barrage will become visible once hit.  You earn points for each hit, but sinking an entire ship will win you the jackpot!

The jackpot for sinking a ship is called a Progressive Jackpot.  It is based on how many people are playing Battleship Jackpot Command, so the more players, the higher the potential winnings!  You can see the ticker going by at all times during the game to tell you how many Coins sinking each ship is worth.  Once a ship has been sunk by any player, that ship's Jackpot returns to zero and will build back up until it is sunk again.

At the end of your Bonus Round, you will see how many Coins you earned for hits and/or sinking ships.  You will then be offered the opportunity to send a Thank you gift to any of your friends who served as Gunners in the round.  

Your Bet size in the Bonus Round is based on your Bet size and number of Lines in the Main Slot.

As you have probably noticed, each time you level up in Lucky Gem Casino, your Coinsize resets to the default, and your selected Winlines reset to 1.  This is because levelling up also changes the Coinsize options that are available to you.  If your previous default Coinsize was 1, and you were able to decrease it by intervals of 0.25 or increase it by intervals of 0.50, levelling up may change that to a default of 2 that decreases by 0.50 and increases by 1.00.  

The reset to defaults allows you to look over the new Coinsize options available to you and select both your Coinsize and number of Winlines accordingly.
