MyVegas goes green with St. Patrick's Day festivities

St. Patrick's Day has come to myVegas in a big way this week, as the MGM sponsored slot machine game on Facebook now features a new character named Seamus that has lost his lucky charms (Shamrocks, of course). Once you jump into the game, you'll need to play the Excalibur slot machine for a chance to find those missing Shamrocks, with massive rewards being available for those that can get the job done before March 17.

If you can find Seamus's Shamrocks, you'll receive a special Pot of Gold bonus containing $50,000 in virtual Chips! What's more, the myVegas fan page now also offers players a chance at something special, as it's quickly approaching the 1 million "Like" mark. If the page can hit 1 million Likes on or before St. Patrick's Day itself, 10 lucky players will receive the ultimate jackpot: a free bundle of of 1 million Chips.

Finally, bonus Chips are being offered with every real-money purchase of Chips within the game. While the purchase prices of all Chip packages have remained the same, you'll receive more Chips for that same amount of money. For instance, the $5 package normally offers $5,000 in Chips, but it now offers $8,000. As you might expect, the more money you spend, the more of a bonus you'll actually receive, but this deal will only be available for a limited time.

CityVille: Add the luck of the Irish to your town with St. Patrick's Day items

by Brandy Shaul, Posted Mar 15th 2012 8:56PM

A new series of six decorations and buildings have been added to the CityVille marketplace in a St. Patrick's Day theme. While six buildings may not be enough, these are some of the most important buildings we've seen released in the game for some time. Why? You'll need to build them and collect from them if you want to finish the Rainbow in your town, along with its goal. Here's a rundown of the six items.

Shamrock Chateau (Home) Costs: 25 City CashPopulation: 1,150 - 1,930Rent: 300 coins every 18 hours
Blarney Stone House (Home) Costs: 35,000 coinsPopulation: 180 - 340Rent: 373 coins every 2.1 days
McGroarty Mansion (Home) Costs: 40 City CashPopulation: 1,500 - 2,400Rent: 275 coins every eight hours
Patty's Place (Home) Costs: 60,000 coinsPopulation: 260 - 500Rent: 310 coins every day
Leprechaun (Decoration) Costs: 15,000 coinsPayout Bonus: 1% to surrounding homes and businesses; extra 1% to St. Patrick's Day items
Emerald Apartments (Home) Costs: 55 City CashPopulation: 2,500 - 4,500Rent: 304 coins every four hours
Again, you'll need to build three Irish Buildings to finish the Rainbow Connection goal in your city. You must build new St. Patrick's Day buildings for this to count, so having items from last year's event does nothing. Also, the more you have in your city, the more Shamrocks you'll be able to collect for your Rainbow, as they drop at random when tending these new buildings. Just make sure to purchase the ones you're interested in now, rather than later, as they'll only be available for a limited time!

What do you think of these St. Patrick's Day items in CityVille? Will you splurge City Cash on any of them? Sound off in the comments.

CityVille St. Patrick's Day Rainbow: Everything you need to know

CityVille is celebrating St. Patrick's Day this week with the release of a large Rainbow feature. This Rainbow needs to be built with the help of friends, and you'll end up with plenty of St. Patrick's Day themed buildings in your town when all is said and done. First things first, players Level 10 or above can place the Rainbow in their towns. This is a long, narrow item so you might have a bit of trouble finding enough squares to place it (that is, squares that are all in one long run).

Once you've placed the Rainbow, you'll be able to jump right into the upgrade process, which asks you to collect different colors and amounts of Shamrocks for every level. For the first upgrade (Level 1 to Level 2), you'll need to collect six Shamrocks: two each in green, red and orange. These can be earned by asking your friends to send them to you, or by purchasing them outright for City Cash. You can also earn these items at random by collecting from Irish themed buildings, as there have been plenty of them released in the store to go along with this event.

As you upgrade your Rainbow, you'll get closer and closer to Level 6, the final level, where you'll be rewarded with the ultimate prize: a Pot of Gold containing 1 million coins. It should be noted, however, that things are working a bit against you here, as your inventory of Shamrocks will be reset when upgrading to each new level (as of this writing). That is, you can't simply have 25 Green Shamrocks in your inventory during your first upgrade and then use that supply until they run out - the second you upgrade to Level 2, your 23 extra Shamrocks will be automatically deleted. That being the case, you'll need to continually ask your friends for help. Unfortunately, the Shamrocks you'll receive from your friends are random, as you can't ask for a specific kind. You can, however, ask your friends to send you Mystery Shamrocks from the game's free gifts page, to hopefully quicken the process.

You'll have 22 days to fill out the entire Rainbow and receive your 1 million coins in the end. Remember, you can earn extra Shamrocks by collecting from your new themed buildings, and we'll bring you a guide to building those particular structures just as soon as we can. Stay tuned! UPDATE: You can check out our full guide to the buildings you'll need to build for this event right here.

Are you excited to build your own Rainbow in CityVille? Is the 1 million coin prize enough incentive for you to go through this lengthy upgrade process? Sound off in the comments.

FarmVille St. Patrick's Day Items: Lucky Cookies Tree, Mossy Bridge and more

With just a few days left before St. Patrick's Day, the FarmVille marketplace has received a new batch of items in the store, including some that have been released in previous events. That being the case, if these items look familiar to you, you'll want to make sure to check out your farms to make sure you're not purchasing duplicates needlessly. Let's take a look at the newly released items.

Trees

Lucky Cookies Tree - 5 Farm Cash
Giant Lucky Cookies Tree - 10 Farm Cash

Animals

Leprechaun Dog - 12 Farm Cash
Irish Hunter Horse - 26 Farm Cash

Decorations

Mossy Bridge - 250,000 coins
Leprechaun Planter - 10,000 coins
Green Broadbill - 5 Farm Cash

Avatar Clothing

Pot of Gold - 5 Farm Cash

These items will be available in the game's store for the next 13 days. There's not a lot here to choose from, but if your farm could use just a few extra touches of St. Patrick's day flair, at least you have some additional options, rather than purchasing duplicates of some others. We'll make sure to let you know if the game receives any other St. Patrick's Day content, so keep checking back with us!

CityVille St. Patrick's Collection offers energy as a reward

With Energy now looking to be a very scarce commodity in CityVille, you'll be happy to know that with the release of the three St. Patrick's Day themed businesses in the game this week comes a new collection that rewards you with a +3 energy boost when completed.

The St. Patrick's Collection contains five new items to watch out for, which can be earned when collecting from the Fiddle Shop, the St. Patty's Pub, and the Shamrock Sing-A-Long businesses.

4 Leaf Clover
Fiddle
Leprechaun Hat
Pot of Gold
Rainbow

The reward, as we said above, is not only 3 energy, but also 50 Goods. While that may not seem like a lot, keep in mind that the St Patty's Pub only requires 40 Goods to set into motion, so this prize will keep at least one business up and running just a little while longer.

With the changes to the game's energy system, now might also be a good time to check out the other collections that reward energy, as you just might need them in the future.

Check out the rest of our St. Patrick's Day 2011 coverage right here.

What do you think of the St. Patrick's Collection? Will you build the Irish themed buildings to complete it, or is your town too full of other businesses? Let us know in the comments. Bookmark this site!
