My InboxDollars Game Offer Experience: June's Journey

I downloaded June's Journey on Android as an offer on InboxDollars (referral link) to play and earn points to redeem for gift cards or Paypal (mostly I do this). The offer could also have been done on iPhone or iPad, but I prefer to do these games on a cheap Android I got just for doing game offers so I can play them and still be able to use my iPhone as usual.

I enjoyed playing June's Journey. Overall I found it easy and did not seem to take much effort overall.

General Tips

I found this site useful for helping find items faster. It does not help getting Perfect scores any more than just playing and knowing where things are after more plays, but it does help with the tasks that are finish without missing a tap or not using hints. It is also faster than waiting for the hint to reset when you need more than one for the scene.

Always watch the ad to get reduced energy cost. It makes a huge difference how many times you can play with the energy. Initially the game gives skips, but then there was always ads available to keep it going as needed.

Help Wanted missions are good for more coins and energy. It is also another way to get 5-star boxes. When you finish the mission there is a countdown of hours for another one, but you can skip it by watching an ad.

Mostly I opened the star boxes as soon as I got them, but towards the end I did start to save them for after I ran out of energy and had time to play some more. Keeping at least some can be helpful to clear more Help Wanted cases that involve opening them, which is especially useful if there is an event active that Help Wanted cases help progress faster in. I did not like hoarding the 5 stars, though, in case they had a seasonal decoration as those help with leveling up faster as you can instantly place them instead of needing coins and then waiting for a decor to finish to get the flowers.

Daily you can renovate the Lighthouse twice (once free, second with watching an ad), which gives you some flowers for leveling up.

The different events can help with gaining more energy, coins, and decor for leveling up faster.

I mostly focused on building the Seasonal decor sets for leveling up as you earn rewards as you build more of them, which then helps with leveling faster.

I forgot what level Jack was unlocked, but sending him off on missions helps a little.

My MyPoints Game Offer Experience: Caesar's Slots

I downloaded Caesar's Slots on Android as an offer on MyPoints (referral link) to play and earn points to redeem for gift cards or Paypal (mostly I do this). The offer could also have been done on iPhone, but I prefer to do these games on a cheap Android I got just for doing game offers so I can play them and still be able to use my iPhone as usual.

Overall I found this slot game a waste to play. It was slow going and the auto play is only up to 200 spins. The level requirements for points is too high and seems to be impossible to reach without spending to replenish coins. I had some Google Play gift cards that I decided to spend to see if it helped, but in the end it did not seem to help that much as the last purchase only really helped me get another 15 levels and I still was not quite to level 400 having spent ~$41. Grinded to Level 400 (actually 401 as the levels did not seem to credit until you finished them) before totally giving up, which meant I spent ~$41 to only earn ~$30.

General Tips

Played mainly Wild Howl. Seemed to mostly go okay without losing too much with the bonus game and the free spins.

Collecting coins every 2 to 3 hours (depending on boost or not) helps, but it is not much really.

Getting more spins and boosted wheels from the Sweet Pass seemed helpful, but ultimately not really much coins to get much farther overall.
