I enjoy playing games at Pogo.com. You can win money with their games, so I wasn’t surprised when I ran across Badgehelp.com that I found in the v7 network directory. Badge Help has Pogo cheats that plays the games for you, improving your chances of winning.

I don’t know Pogo’s policy on this but I’m going to guess that they frown on such practices. Part of the fun of playing games is playing them. I guess I always figure the chances of winning cash on Pogo is so slim that I just play the games to play.

So far, that is the only cheats that I have found. It would be nice to find some useful hints or walk throughs for casual games.

Jackpot! the board game is a great game for puzzle lovers. The board resembles a casino slot machines. Players take turns moving around the fruit markers to make a match to one of their Jackpot cards.

Players roll a die to determine how many moves they get. If they make a match under the moves, then they are under par and are allowed to discard that many number of cards. If they are over par then they must draw that many cards from the discard pile. Each player starts with 10 cards that make up their draw pile. The rest of the cards are used as the discard pile. The first person to get rid of all of their cards wins the game.

Jackpot! is a great game for family night since no reading is required and even the younger family members can get in on the action. It’s a fast game, taking less then 20 minutes to play. Jackpot is for ages 7 and up and is for 2 to 4 players.
