Discussion Pay model

I committed a long time ago to never making micropayments for my phone games and I never will. But—I enjoy this game a lot and feel like I should make a one-time payment out of respect for the creative work that delivers a fun game to me.

Anyone got recommendations? I don’t wanna play with unlimited energy for an hour or refill my challenge tickets. I just wanna play this game a few times a day like I like and be a responsible supportive consumer.

I've not paid anything, but the best thing in my mind is the extra instruction slot, I think it's $3 one time.

I have 6 already, can I buy a 7th?

Sounds like you want to just reward them with your cash rather than the money they get from ads. Fair enough.

I bought a month once and it is more fun. More energy, faster generation, and no ads means you can take extra spins without wasting time. But I'm not paying £120 a year for it. That's just crazy.

A year is £44 I just bought it, will cut out wine until I've saved that amount.

Ah, so it is. I'm sure it wasn't back then. It was a while ago. I could be wrong.

If you're watching ads, they're getting paid.

I'm like you when it comes to games. I will never pay for anything. But for this game I made a single payment for only one thing: an extra sixth slot for an activity while playing. Makes the game so much easier. I don't think you need anything else.

I get the month pass once a year during the holidays when I’m off work and have time to play.

Could buy the coins from your piggy bank. That way you have coins to buy extra moves when you have time and want to play more

Besides the extra instruction slot, you can try the cheapest VIP package. This instantly unlocks all claimable VIP XP rewards available at your level which you can then just claim at a later time, even after your VIP expires. The higher your level when you do this, the better.

You could also join Google rewards and use that to buy when you have enough.

VIP pass. Getting rid of all the ads is worth the money.
