2016 Summer Event
2016 Summer Event

August 3, 2016 - August 24, 2016


The 2016 Summer Event is a seasonal event that will run from August 3, 2016 to August 24, 2016. The concept is the same as in the previous summer events, the Summer Casino, and theme for 2016 is Polynesian. To take part in the Summer Casino the player needs tickets and these can either be won through quests or be bought with diamonds.

Summer Casino Wheel

To access the casino, click the Summer Casino bar at the top left corner of the screen (pictured to the left). The player will now see the Summer Casino window, containing a spinning wheel, a neighborhood spins bar, a neighborhood actions log, and some buttons to spin or refresh the wheel.

In order to spin the wheel, the player first needs to earn tickets. The event presents a series of quests that the player can complete in exchange for tickets to spend in the Summer Casino. There will also be eight bonus quests[1] for a chance at an extra ticket. Tickets will also be hidden in the wilderness around the town upon the first login of the day and when a quest is finished.

Each spin costs one ticket, and results in one prize. Any player can also refresh and spin the wheel at a cost of one ticket to call up a whole new set of prizes for the neighborhood.

The prizes displayed in the wheel are available for every player in the player's neighborhood to claim, with 4 of each displayed prize being available initially (one can see how many of each item is left in the circle surrounding the wheel items). The prizes are random but every wheel always has something special that can be won by up to 4 spinners. If, for example, one player wins one of a specific prize where 4 are available, it is removed from the wheel and only 3 of them will be remaining for 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 fully stocked new set of prizes. It is also possible for any player in the neighborhood to refresh the wheel. Note that a refresh of the wheel also spins the wheel.

In addition to the individual prizes, every spin, or refresh and spin, is counted towards a total of 77 spins in the neighborhood. Once the neighborhood reaches 77 spins, every player in the neighborhood gets 20 medals and the counter resets.

To keep track of who's winning what, there is a neighborhood casino actions log.
