Greetings Beta,
Summer is here and that means Greva's Summer Casino is open for business again! This year she decided to go for a Polynesian theme: sun, sand and crystal clear water. There are awesome prizes to be won, so make sure you visit Greva’s Summer Casino!
If you didn't have a chance to participate in our previous events, now you have an opportunity to compete with your neighbors to claim some of those old event items, as well as brand new Summer items.
The event starts today, so you will soon be able to jump right into it!
To spin the Wheel of Fortune in the Summer Casino you need tickets, which Greva (and occasionally other advisers) is more than happy to help you with... in exchange for completing tasks, of course.
To access the Casino, click the bar at the top left corner of your screen:
You will now see the Summer Casino window containing the wheel, a neighborhood spins bar, a neighborhood actions log, and buttons to spin or refresh the wheel. Remember that your neighborhood shares the wheel - when you refresh it, it's refreshed for everyone. When you grab a prize, it is gone for everyone.
The most recent wins are displayed at the bottom of the Summer Casino window, so that you can keep an eye on who's winning which prize.
Spinning the Wheel
In order to spin the wheel, you first need to earn tickets. Greva Darn will help you gain some tickets, as she will need your assistance managing the business. Help her out and she will reward you with tickets to spend in her Summer Casino. You can also use Diamonds if you just can't resist waiting for the next spin!
One spin costs one ticket, and results in one prize. Alternatively, you can "refresh and spin" to call up a whole new set of prizes for your neighborhood. No matter what you choose, you will always win a prize!
Prizes
The prizes displayed in the Wheel are available for every player in your neighborhood to claim. The prizes are random but, don't worry, every Wheel always has something special that can be won, and each prize can be won by up to 4 lucky spinners (you can see how many of each prize is left in the circle surrounding the image of the prize).
If, for example, you win one of a specific prize where 4 are available, it is removed from the wheel and only 3 of them will remain for your neighbors to win. This goes on until all the prizes in the wheel run out, at which point the wheel is automatically refreshed with a new set of prizes. It is also possible for any player in your neighborhood to refresh the wheel at any time.
In addition so some older event items, we of course also have brand new rewards: special summer avatars and, most importantly, four new buildings:
Luau Production building - 5x4 |
Fishing Hut Residential building - 4x4 |
Pole House Residential building - 3x4 |
Tiki Totem Decoration - 1x1 |
Refreshing the Wheel
You can refresh the Wheel of Fortune at any time to call a whole new set of prizes to your neighborhood's wheel. Remember that whenever you refresh the wheel, it is also refreshed for all your neighbors. The wheel will automatically refresh once all prizes are won.
Shared neighborhood prize
In addition to the individual prizes, every spin, or "refresh and spin", is counted towards a total of 77 spins in your neighborhood. Once your neighborhood reaches the magic number of 77, every player in the neighborhood gets 20 medals. After 77 spins, the counter resets so that you and your neighborhood can try and win more medals.
We hope you enjoy spinning the wheel and winning the prizes. If you'd like to discuss the event, please visit our discussion thread. If you encounter any issues, please let us know in the mission thread.
Thank you for playing Forge of Empires and... enjoy the summer!
Sincerely,
The Forge of Empires Team
