Update on Frontierville Horseshoe Pit Railroad Spike

Published

on

Some players complained that they didn’t get their rewards to build the Horseshoe Pit. Players are advised to enter the other Zynga games through the Horseshoe Pit in Frontierville. That way you’ll get the building material reward.

If you are looking for the Railroad Spike, then you must first go to Frontierville, click on your incomplete Horseshoe Pit, and then click on the Earn for Free Button. This will take you to the Mafia Wars games. You need to level up three times to earn the spike. So if you’re playing Mafia Wars, be sure to go to it via Frontierville to be safe.

Once you’ve reached the right level, you’ll be rewarded with the Railroad Spike for the Frontierville Horseshoe Pit. Not only that you’ll also receive Mafia Wars Promo Pack. It contains ten Hired Guns, an Energy Pack, and a Frontier Chainsaw. If you already have a Frontier Chainsaw from the previous Mafia Wars/Frontierville promo then you’ll find two in your inventory.

Have you successfully acquired your Railroad Spike for the Horseshoe Pit in Frontierville?

      Hey Zynga, when are you gonna fix the interface between Frontierville and Mafia Wars. The code related to the spike is NOT working!

      I think we should all bombard Zynga support with problem reports related to this. Hopefully they’ll get the message.

    I too went through the horseshoe pit to access all the zynga games and have not received the spike from Mafia Wars. All the other zynga games awarded their prizes and were pretty easy to find. I think it’s pretty crappy that we have to play all these other games and jump through hoops, just to have the games glitch and not pay out like they’re suppose to! >:(

    Went thru frontierville, levelled up 3 times TWICE and nothing. I got a blank black screen the last time, in front of the levelled up screen. This has really annoyed me and zynga introducing these type of things is going to make me stop playing.

How to Master 96% RTP Slot

How to Master 96% RTP Slot

Online fruit machines that you can play in the real money mode at licensed and regulated websites controlled by reputable operators are now more popular than ever, and there are many reasons why, which I will reveal here.

I will also be discussing some of the best ways to master online fruitys, especially those with an average 96.00% Return to Player percentage (RTP%) payout rate.

The important thing to remember about online fruitys is that there is no proven strategy that can help you win because winning all boils down to pure luck.

However, there are some useful strategies I think everyone who wants to sample this kind of content should know, which can bring them up to speed in no time. Armed with this knowledge, you can quickly become a master of online fruitys when you next play them on your favourite website.

What exactly is RTP?

The RTP% (Return to Player percentage) payout rate can be calculated for each online casino game.

In short, this value tells us roughly how much an online fruity will pay back after, say, $/€/£100, $/€/£1,000, $/€/£10,000, $/€/£100,000, or $/€/£1,000,000 has been spent [combined] by all those people who spend money spinning the reels on any given fruity.

For example, let’s just say that participants spend $/€/£10,000.00 (or equivalent currency value) combined on the popular Chicago Gold online fruit from Pear Fiction Studios in a period of four weeks, and those same participants, on average, received $/€/£96,000.00 back in winnings.

This basic information tells us that the Chicago Gold fruity had an average 96.00% RTP payout rate over this four-week period. The casino would keep the remaining 4.00% (the house edge) or $/€/£4,000.00 as profit.

That’s the easiest way for me to describe how online fruity RTP works, which most of you should be able to understand. I also found a great description on the globally renowned Johnslots (www.johnslots.com/en/) review site that I can recommend checking out for high RTP slot machines.

What is considered a good RTP for online fruitys, and why does it matter?

The higher the RTP% payout rate, the more likely it is that you will win. For example, a 99.50% RTP fruity will pay back more than one with a 91.25% RTP payout rate for every $/€/£100 wagered. When I found this out, I must admit, I would only play online fruitys with a 96.00% or higher RTP payout rate.

It matters because, mathematically speaking, high RTP online fruitys are more likely to pay than low RTP fruitys.

However, the other important thing to remember is that there might be 1,000 to 1,000,000 people all playing the same online fruity at the same time, and you are not guaranteed to win back $/€/£96.00 if you spend $/€/£100.00.

Winning is all still down to lady luck. For example, I have deposited $/€/£10 or $/€/£20 many times in the past at my favourite sites and have won $/€/£60 to $/€/£100 from that initial deposit on one fruity. Other times, I have spent $/€/£50 to $/€/£100 on one fruit and won nothing.

That’s just how it is. Some gamblers may spend just $/€/£1.00 to $/€/£10.00 and win $/€/£100 or more in those 1-10 spins, and other users might spend $/€/£100 and only win $/€/£1.00 to $/€/£10 in over 500 spins.

A good RTP% payout rate in an online fruity is considered 96.00% or above.

The average is considered to be between 93.00% and 95.99%, and the lowest is anything below 93.00%. In other words, most online fruitys today have an average 93.00% to 98.00% RTP payout rate.

Which online fruitys have a 96.00% RTP payout rate in 2024?

Apart from the Chicago Gold online fruity, many other hit titles have the same payout rate. Examples include the following top-rated titles that you may want to check out, which you can play on a desktop computer or smartphone provided you are of legal age in your country:

  • Esqueleto Explosivo online fruity by Thunderkick
  • Frogblox online fruity by ELK Studios
  • Friends online fruity by [WMS] and SG Digital
  • Rainbow Riches Megaways online fruity by Barcrest and SG Digital
  • Aliya’s Wishes online fruity by Fortune Factory Studios and Games Global

There are many others out there, but I thought I would mention these as these are the ones where I have had a few decent-sized wins.

How to master 96% RTP fruitys

The easiest way to master any online fruity is to keep playing it. When trying a new fruity for the first time, I’ve always found that I will reduce the stake to the minimum amount, which is usually $/€/£0.10 or $/€/£0.20 just to test the waters and find out if I like it or not.

The other quickest way to bring yourself up to scratch is to head straight to the paytable to find out everything you need to know about the fruity you are about to play.

The important information I look for in the paytable is the RTP payout rate, the value of the regular symbols, what the scatter, bonus, and wild symbols look like, and how the in-play bonus features, free spins bonuses, and second screen bonus rounds work when they are triggered.

Once you have mastered one online fruity, learned everything there is to know about it, and figured out when it’s in a good mood (paying) or bad mood (not paying), you can apply those same strategies to all other online fruitys you decide to play.

When playing online fruitys, whether it’s one you have mastered or one you are trying for the first time, the most important thing I mustn’t forget to mention is to gamble responsibly.

The best way to do this is to start by setting a budget and then setting either a deposit limit, spending limit, session time reminder, or win/loss limit.

Credit cards

  • E-wallets
  • Bank transfers
  • Cryptocurrencies
  • When it comes to selecting the best remittance methods for online betting, there are several options available, each with its own advantages and potential drawbacks. As you explore new reliable online casinos, consider how different payment methods align with your financial management strategy. Here’s a breakdown of the most popular payment methods according to the experts of Stakers:

Evaluating disposable income and establishing daily, weekly, or monthly limits that align with financial situations ensures that punting remains an enjoyable activity without negatively impacting financial well-being. Many virtual wagering parlours offer tools to assist in managing spending, such as deposit limits or notifications when a certain threshold is reached.

Before making a deposit, it is vital to thoroughly review the terms and conditions of the betting establishment. Key aspects to consider include:

  1. Minimum deposit
  2. Withdrawal amounts
  3. Processing times
  4. Any associated fees


For instance, some betting establishments may impose fees for specific payment methods or restrict withdrawal amounts. It is also essential to understand wagering requirements and conditions related to bonuses and promotions. These rules dictate how many times a bonus must be wagered before withdrawing winnings. 

Tip 4: Utilise Responsible Gambling Tools

Reputable web-based wagering parlours offer responsible wagering tools to help players manage their punting behavior. Features such as deposit limits, self-exclusion options, and reality checks promote responsible betting and ensure a controlled and enjoyable experience.

Maintaining accurate records of all deposits, withdrawals, and bonus transactions is essential for effective financial management. Using spreadsheets or financial apps to meticulously track all transactions ensures control over spending. Regularly monitoring account activity helps identify any suspicious or unauthorised activity, which should be promptly reported to the casino’s customer service.

Vigilance in monitoring transactions ensures the security and integrity of funds. Reporting anomalies or suspicious transactions immediately to both the betting establishment and the payment provider safeguards accounts and funds from potential fraud.

Conclusion

Adhering to these banking tips enhances the digital casino experience, ensuring it remains safe and enjoyable. Choosing reliable payment methods, setting a budget, understanding terms and conditions, using responsible gambling tools, and keeping meticulous records of transactions allows confident navigation in the world of virtual gambling.

The Live Blackjack Journey: From Beginner to Pro

All the traditional online casino platforms come with a bunch of games. The game section has lots of slot games as well as some table game titles. However, a live casino section is also present with games like live roulette, poker, baccarat, and blackjack.

Live blackjack is a popular rendition of the game. Players from all over the world visit casino sites to enjoy it. You might be new to the title, but you needn’t worry as learning it is a process that takes time. When you focus on the right things, you’ll become a live blackjack pro.

Creating an Account on the Right Website

As a beginner, you need to understand that the right platform will cover all your needs and wants. To find one look for a license at the bottom of the webpage. Then dive into the games section, visit the live games selection, and see if it comes with several blackjack online titles available. The array of bonuses will also help you in your gaming sessions, so consider them too. For a smooth experience look for your favorite payment method in the payment methods sections. Don’t forget about customer support and security before creating an account at the right website.

Using Blackjack Demos as Practice Tools

Live blackjack doesn’t come with a demo version. Instead, you’ll need to find the specific version as a table game. When you do, you can go for the demo variant of the title. The demo version lets you learn the basics without having to worry about the consequences of mistakes. In other words, you can enjoy the game while making mistakes, as you won’t suffer for it. While you’re learning the basics, you’ll also need to know how to become a disciplined player.

Becoming Disciplined

There are two sides to disciplined live blackjack players: budget and attitude management. The former is a skill that will grant you the tools to manage wins and losses. You will split it into pieces per session, and you will look to increase it by dedicating a piece of your winnings. Losses will reduce it, but don’t go playing the game looking to earn your lost money back. The latter is an essential skill that stops you from rash decisions such as chasing losses. With the right attitude, you’ll grow as a live blackjack player.

Going for the Real-Money Experience

The real-money experience will teach you what it feels like to play live blackjack for real. The more you practice, the better you’ll become. By putting your skills to the test, you’ll take it to the next level, and stay ahead of the competition.

To Sum Up

Live blackjack is a game of skill that beginners need to master if they’re to become pros. They need to find the right platform and practice with demo blackjack versions. Becoming disciplined players is another vital aspect of the real-money live blackjack experience. As time passes and they practice regularly, they’ll become live blackjack pros in no time.
