If you’re expecting to win cash by just playing a couple hundred levels, this is not the app for you. Much like the other reviews said, you won’t get past $6.50 by just playing the levels on your own time. If you have a few hours to play non stop, you can win the cash dash prizes which can get you $5-$10. I’ve already got a pretty decent amount in my wallet but haven’t attempted to cash out yet, so I have yet to confirm if it will be payed out or not. I did have this app prior to it becoming a sweepstakes game and they payed out, so I’m not as hesitant, but will try cashing out soon. It’s taken me 2 hours and 2 and a half hours of non stop playing during the cash dash to win two of them. I put on my favorite show and tuned in when the ads came. I personally like the game so I don’t mind sitting there playing it after work. This game won’t be for most people, as it does take a lot of effort and you have to sit through a lot of ads. But the ads pay for the money you win, so put on a good show and play for a couple hours during CASH DASH, you could win some money. But only expect a payout if you have the time to spend and a schedule that allows you to play during cash dash.

So I wanna start off by saying the game is very fun! The theme is cool, the graphics are neat, and the gameplay of all the different levels you have to go through are highly addictive. Now I’ve had the game for a week and in less than 3 days, I got about $4. You get cash by either spinning the wheel, hitting the lotto or doing the scratchers. Which these scratchers, you get to do after you complete each level. I would recommend watching any ad, because the more ads you watch, the more double the gold, tokens, free spins and cash you could possibly get. However, the moment I reached $6.55, which by the way is close to cashing out at $7, because that’s what it says, everything stopped all of a sudden. So now, no matter how many scratchers I do, or spin of the wheel, I get no money. Not even a little cents. I guess this could mean three things. Number 1: The harder and higher the levels get, the harder it is to win money? Because I will warn you, the levels do get very hard. I’m surprised I’ve reached level 50 already. Number 2: Maybe you have to reach a specific level or map in order to start winning cash again? Number 3: Or are they scamming us? Whatever the cause, I hope to eventually start winning little cash again. I do have a lot of patience, but I hope the case is not that it is a scam. It would be disappointing if that is the case, because this is a fun game.

Although the ads don’t reflect what the game actually is, I really am pleased with the game format. It’s a basic match-the-gems puzzle, which progresses along a map. You get a scratch-off after each puzzle, plus additional ones for completing daily tasks, proceeding past certain map points, etc. There’s also a drawing daily for $25 and a weekly one for $1,000. It does throw a lot of ads at you, but I don’t particularly mind them. I was very happy at first, and quickly got to $6.55…. aaaaand stuck. For over two weeks now, I haven’t hit any real $ winnings, not even a 5-cent one. They will only pay out at $7.00, so it’s been sitting there. I would just chalk it up to bad luck, but other reviews indicate that $6.55 seems to be a ‘freeze point’ with this developer’s games. It’s irksome, because this format has a lot going for it - I dislike skill games that pit player vs. player, as I’m not particularly fast enough to do well at them, but I love puzzle games and it was super to find a game that’s enjoyable, non-competitive, and offers the possibility of real-world rewards. I’ll keep playing because it’s fun (and hope springs eternal) but be aware that you may have a long haul before you can cash out.
