ஐ ◕‿◕ ஐ's Great Determination

-Written by Sweets*

Swoosh!

What wonderful inspirational words you have on your profile

handsome ஐ ◕‿◕ ஐ

Your display of eagerness, determination, and excitement 

as you ran into the casino to conquer the looong task that was ahead of you was so contagious.

You gave me the encouragement I needed to continue and not give up 

on my own quest for the Secret Spy Challenge.

But after only three minutes the unexpected happens...

(20:58) ஐ ◕‿◕ ஐ: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

(20:58) ஐ ◕‿◕ ஐ: board already

(20:59) ஐ ◕‿◕ ஐ: come on

(20:59) ஐ ◕‿◕ ஐ: today

(20:59) ஐ ◕‿◕ ஐ: i tired already

(21:00) ஐ ◕‿◕ ஐ: this music

(21:00) ஐ ◕‿◕ ஐ: bad

(21:00) ஐ ◕‿◕ ஐ: mute this music

(21:00) ஐ ◕‿◕ ஐ: that's better

(21:02) ஐ ◕‿◕ ஐ: damnit

(21:02) ஐ ◕‿◕ ஐ: i can't do it

.... and just as fast as you had run in before, you ran out vanishing

from the face of the earth never to be seen again.

THE END

Day One

-Written by Sweets*

Ameba Pico officials alert all citizens of the new Blue Heart Challenge

 that has just started. Minutes later the cameras of casino SLOT #22 captured Sweets* 

sneaking in trying to disguise her appearance so as not to be recognized. 

She carefully looks around, making sure no one has noticed her presence.

She notices there is an empty seat way in the back next to ⓣ™❍ʀɛ❍●.inⓒ 

who is singing and dancing on her chair. She takes the seat next to her quietly, hoping that

ⓣ™❍ʀɛ❍●.inⓒ's behavior will distract the attention away from her.

Slots are in her favor. Sweets* seems to be getting high numbers with every spin. 

But she remains calm, she must or she'll get discovered.

ⓣ™❍ʀɛ❍●.inⓒ, Gaby, Sweets*, cheocheo

Suddenly,

out of nowhere...

"Addicted to gambling ha?"

Gaby and cheocheo confront Sweets* and after minutes of trying an intervention with her 

to save her from the hell of the gambling fever, they realize that Sweets* 

is no longer gamble-free, she has become a prisoner of the Vega's Casinos.

Gaby leaves knowing that there is no use.

However, cheocheo remains faithfully by Sweets*'s side. And he too becomes another victim 

to the gambling epidemic that has come over our Pico world.

We were able to get evidence of how Sweets* did on her first day.

Goal Suceeded

-Written by Sweets*

Everybody, listen to me carefully.

Gambling is bad. Really Really bad. Do not gamble. I repeat, DO NOT gamble.

And what do I do?

I GAMBLED :(

I ended up with a flat and squared butt from sitting for hours trying to clear the five levels 

needed to complete the White Tiger Challenge. I know there are no excuses for me 

for not practicing what I preach and I should be ashamed of myself. But I am not :P

Actually, I am very proud. 

Not for gambling, but for taking on a challenge with less than a day left to complete 

and not giving up even though I was falling asleep all over my keyboard.

There were times that I was very close to giving up, but I stayed strong to what I had started 

and I wasn't gonna go down easily. No way!

I ignored the pile of dirty laundry that kept staring at me from the laundry room.  

I even ignored Gaby's pleas to go over to her room... 

"Not now Gaby, hush, I can't talk now. Need my full concentration.",  

"But Sweets*...", 

"Gaby hush, you'll see me again when it's all over, now hush, go to sleep!".

And with an hour to spare, it was over!

I returned to my Pico room carrying all the great prizes I had won. 

Too bad Gaby couldn't see them since it was way late at night 

and she was already all tucked in bed :P

The following are a few photos of the Picos that I saw at the casino.

Now, don't go judging us for being such gamblers :P

Micat™

She gambled standing all the way from a corner of the casino. I wonder how she did that. 

She just kept dancing and dancing at all times. Love her red neck bow 

but especially her high spirit because even though she had been banned for a reason unknown 

to me, and I didn't dare to ask her why so as not to make her cry, she never stopped smiling :)))

 

Ｋｙａｒｙ ☆

Came up to where I was, said hi with a big smile, threw a kiss and then left just like that :P

F☆Oⓟⓘⓝⓚⓨoliver

WHAT A sweet SMILE :))) Definitely one of the most beautiful Picos :)

M O T

You know how I become weak at my knees for a man with a mustache, 

but the pink dress is too much for me to handle, sorry :(

And why didn't you give me a chance to take your photo?

You disappeared so quickly from the casino 

that I didn't even get a chance to take my camera out of my purse.

╬Buttercup╬

She must have been doing good since she never stopped dancing. ;)

мaкrosz

What a beautiful mess you are. I totally love it! <3

Shifty~ 

What a cutie you are.

Sitting next to me it was so hard to concentrate on the game.

that I just had to move a seat away :P

ღღ¥ʊяḯρρεღღ™

You got style.

You got class.

You got the new dress from the Easter Egg Room :O

You were definitely one of the best dressed in the casino.

And finally, we have 

αвσσɒ 

who lost even his clothes during the challenge.

Now you see why I say 

Gambling is bad. Do not gamble. I repeat, DO NOT GAMBLE!

A Little Extra For You

Sweets*: Cheo, look this is the outfit I won in the White Tiger Challenge.

Do you like it, tell me, do I look pretty? tell meeee! Do I, Do I???

cheocheo: Yes Sweets*, you look beautiful :)

Sweets*: Hmmm, you are just saying that :/

The New "ALMIGHTY ONE"

I don't know about you, but "The Almighty One" stone that can be purchased for merely 50AG for 100 batch, has to be the greatest thing ever. This amazing stone will give you the opportunity to earn casino dollars much easier in no time. At first I was hesitant about spending my husband's I mean my money on AG for this stone, but I went with my gut instinct and soon I started seeing my casino fortune go up.

Not only was I winning in most spins, but the figures were astonishingly big! I was seeing 1,500, 3,000, 12,000, 17,000 and even up to 43,000 Credits with many of my spins. In a matter of 30 minutes I had earned over 10,000 C$. At this pace soon I will be able to buy the Bourgeois Peacock Design Dress (30,000C$) available in Jill's Shop at the Shop Lounge in Las Vegas that I been wanting so bad.

Now, in no way am I suggesting that you should go out there and purchase the 'The Almighty One" stone. I am only sharing with you how well the stone has worked for me and the results may very  much varied with each one of us.



 And now you may be wondering why the big smile?  Well... not only did Ameba Pico bring this amazing stone for the AG users that like to gamble, but for the ones that can't afford the stone, Ameba Pico hasn't forgotten about them this time and for three days only (4-22 to 4-24) with their "5 Times Slot Campaign", everyone will be winning five times as usual. So don't wait anymore and head for the Slot Machines.



And finally,don't forget that  for one week only (4-21~ 4-27) the "High-Class Escargot Wheels" has a 50% discount. Now you can become the proud owner of this very cool item thanks to our friend Anthony at the Shop Lounge in Las Vegas for the price of 750,000C$.

Now my dear Picos, I need to get out of here and find my gambling partner Catero that has been hiding from me all week long :P  I wonder what he's been up to this time? If you see him please  tell him that Sweets* said ... "Hola Chico"!

How-to: Vege's Perfect Guide to Blackjack

Written by: Vegemite

Amazing news just hit Pico. Blackjack is back!

To celebrate, I want to tell you the perfect guide to blackjack.

When I saw that blackjack was back, I went straight to the casino to start playing! When I started I had around C$2,000. Then suddenly, my amount raised to around C$26,000 within about 5-10 minutes. I just had to get to C$30,000 to get the Bourgeois Peacock Design Dress. So I bet C$5,000. I lost. I kept betting the same amount, but luck was not on my side (how awful!). It was one loss after another. In the end, my casino dollars balance was C$100. Disappointed, I learned my lesson. When I get to the right amount, I will stop playing till the next time I play blackjack.

By now, many of us know the different levels of casino play rooms:

• Beginner
• Normal
• High Roller

With blackjack, Beginner, Normal and High Roller rooms all have different

1. values for chips
2. amount limits for bets

But here's the catch: Watch out for the dealer!

Here's a common scenario:
The Dealer begins to stand at the number 17, but still hits on 16 in all of the levels of Blackjack. The odds of a 10, Jack, Queen or King coming up are very, very high! This is because there are 4 of each card, and there all of these cards are used as a 10. Now heres the good news: If the dealer gets a 12, they will hit. And you know what? Most likely, it's a 10, Jack, Queen or king and guess what? BUST! And you win.

 

That could happen with any number from 12 - 16. Well, most likely - yes. Thats why I always start standing on 12 or 13. Just to stay safe.



Sometimes gambling can get addictive. So make sure you don't hit the casino too often. It has quite a lot of effect. Sometimes, you win. And most times, you don't. So when you bet, be careful, because if you bet a huge amount, think about it. What happens if you lose it? You will have nothing. So don't keep your hopes up.


Do you know that at Pico Casino the odds are stacked against you? Pico Casino is designed for you to lose like any other casino. It may not seem like it, but this goes for all casinos. In real life slots and Pico slots, the jackpot may be won by 1 person out of a million people.

The dealers aim in blackjack is to win. But Ameba Pico's blackjack is designed for the dealer to win. Often, the dealer gets 20 or 21 way more than the players. If the player gets 19, most likely, the dealer has 20. Very interesting, huh?

If not, you might get a draw. Which I happen to get very often.

At most times when you get a draw, it's a high number.



Another something you must know, you may think blackjack is very common, but really, it's not that common. An ace is quite rare to get, if you have noticed.

Losing isn't that bad, it happens to many, many, many people.

Winning dosn't happen that much, to be honest. I bet the percentage of the times you have played blackjack, more than half you have lost.

When Ameba Pico deals the cards, they are cheating. Don't report them, because they are doing the right thing. Casino's cheat. So don't expect to win much from it, because you know it's not going to happen.

Casino cards alter when a pico earns a certain amount of casino dollars.

	Red casino cards are given to the pico when starting casino. Changes may happen to the card as the casino dollar amount rises. Example: ☆Rö¢k§†år☆
	Silver cards are given to the player when the player gets at least 10,000 casino dollars in one month. Changes may happen again. Example: Vegemite
	Gold casino cards are given to players when they reach at least 100,000 in one month! One more card is higher than this card. Example: (Sky)
	Black casino cards are given to the player when the player reaches at least 500,000 casino dollars in one month!! Nothing beats this card! Example: (Suby)

I earned my casino dollars from blackjack. It was hard, but as soon as I got it, I kept playing and lost it all. So it dosn't really matter. Just have fun. It dosn't matter what type of casino card you have, or how much casino dollars you have got. Just keep playing pico happily.

Thanks so much for reading my post, I hope you liked it!

As you may have seen last week on the official blog, Pico has started a campaign for slots, once again. Slot players will get 5 times as much Casino Cash (C$) than usual!

With this campaign, not only will you have more Casino Cash than normal, you'll be able to buy more stuff with the C$ you earn!

This will be the second time that Pico has started this campaign ... and will most likely be doing it for a third time in the future.

This campaign is for a limited time and will not be on Pico forever! There are only a couple more days to take advantage of the x5 slots .... so hurry-hurry. Get down over to the Casino and start playing slots!

Maybe YOU could be a jackpot winner and get yourself a rare white tiger!

Casino Slots Madness!

Written by Ðaяk Ðяεam๖ۣۜ♥

Hello everyone! I'm Ðaяk Ðяεam๖ۣۜ♥, but you may call me Ðaяk.
I don't know about the rest of you, but my friends and I are having a BLAST with Pico's new CASINO CAMPAIGN!!!

Yesterday my friend Skyinovinne and I decided to try our luck. Unfortunately Lady Luck was against us and the slots refused to pay out.
Sadly this was too much for Sky, so she got out her HAMMER and proceeded to "convince" the machines into giving her a jackpot!
It looked like she needed some help so I decided to lend a foot to the cause!

Before we could thoroughly persuade the slots into cooperating we were apprehended by casino security and promptly escorted from the premises.

We'll get you next time JACKPOT!!
