Microsoft Jackpot

All bets are unlocked at level 70. While XP comes down to a simplified number, it is essentially an amount of money bet. Therefore, 50 spins at 20 or 10 spins at 100 will give the same XP, only one is obviously quicker than the other. I would estimate level 70 at 15 million total coins spent; when I unlocked the achievement, I was at 11m coins earned in the statistics page, and I'd estimate around 3-4m in ad watching.

There are two ways to level up quickly in this game.

LOW LEVELS - Ads, Time Manipulation, and You
Click on your coin total to find the Get More Coins screen. Never pay money for coins! Every 30 minutes, you can watch an ad for 750 coins. Currently, if your region is still set to Trinidad and Tobago, you won't watch any ads and simply be given the coins. However, it's not an absolute 30 minutes, but 30 minutes from the date and time you last claimed a bonus. Therefore, you can repeatedly move the time forward in order to get more coins at once.

1) Watch an ad.
2) Win-Tab or Alt-Tab back to the desktop. I'm assuming for those without desktops, you can go back to the start menu
3) Click the date at the bottom and select Change Date and Time.
4) On the new window, click the Change Date and Time button.
5) Move the time forward at least half an hour ahead, then click OK.
6) Win-Tab or Alt-Tab back to Jackpot; the button is now yellow. Watch the ad again.
7) Repeat steps 2-6 until you have enough coins.

I'm assuming that for RT systems that don't have a desktop, you should be able to go back to the start menu, swipe right to bring up the Settings charm, tap Settings, Change PC Settings, Time and Language, disable the auto-set time and do the same thing there. I don't have a system like that, so I can't confirm if it actually works.

Since it isn't an absolute 30 minutes, if you continuously use this process, it will put the next ad time at least a day ahead. To reset the time, start from step 6 above, where you have the button in the yellow. Don't click the button, and don't exit the Get More Coins screen. Win-Tab or Alt-Tab to the desktop, set the time backwards to where you want it, then Win-Tab or Alt-Tab back. The button is still yellow. Now watch the ad and the time will be reset back to that point.

HIGH LEVELS - Huge Payouts, Minimum Bets, and Wasting the Winnings
750 coins, even a spammable 750 coins, doesn't go all that far when you start needing 100,000 coins or more to get a single level. Fortunately, there's a way around that; an exploit that uses a low bet to trigger the bonus round, but goes into the bonus round with a much higher bet. Unfortunately, it's highly luck-based. In order to trigger this exploit, two things need to happen.

- Three Scatter tiles appear on the board to send you to the bonus round.
- There is a line on the board that delivers a payout.

I'd recommend that to start with, you want at least twice your max bet amount, just in case you run into a spat of really bad luck, even with low 20 coin bets.

Below is an example on Wild Ocean. I'm using a 20 coin bet. Two turtles show up on screen and the board goes dark, highlighting the last slot. Look over the board. If there's no winning line, there's nothing you can do. If there is a winning line, start mashing the Max Bet button. Mashing isn't necessary, but as soon as you hit it, it's disabled again.

To reiterate, you will need three turtles AND a winning bet to make this work.



You'll enter Deep Dive with your current maximum bet.



Because there's currently a winning payout on the board, the game highlights that line first with the payout. More importantly, this unlocks the Max Bet button for an instant. You can then change your bet in this time just before entering the bonus round! More importantly, since everything involved is a free spin, there's no money to lose doing this with the higher bets, just a much higher payout.



That translates to a 794 coin win if playing on 20. Also, don't let the screenshots fool you; you're only likely to get a million coin payout at best on 20k. Anything below that is ridiculously good odds.

Draw your own conclusions, but I found the best boards to use this were Sweet Riches, then Wild Ocean. I found the candy boxes gave a consistently higher payout than Deep Dive, which seems heavily rigged against the player. More to the point, I would suggest starting with Sweet Riches until you reach the final candy box.



After obtaining that achievement, switch to Wild Ocean to work on this at the same time as the long haul grind of Deep Dive's 10 wilds in one spin.



Now, let's say you've just won big. You got in for 20 coins, switched a max bet to 10,000 and now you're sitting on 250,000 coins. What to do? Again, the two best machines are Sweet Riches, then Wild Ocean. I found myself winning at Sweet Riches much more often, especially since the multiplier, with a little extra luck, can really start boosting your score. If all you have left is the Wild Ocean grind, there's no harm in staying there. Use the max bet available and continue to play until you're back down to twice or triple your maximum bet. Switch back to 20 coin bets and start again.

If you're trying to unlock the Sky's the Limit or the Let's Go Streaking achievement, tune in.

First of all, I really hated this game for a while. Probably the one I hated the most from M$ Win 8 Casual Games collection. Now that this is out of the way, have hope if you feel the same way.

I started playing today at level 31 and about 70k in coins that I had been collecting for free for the past few days/weeks. I was after the Let's Go Streaking achievement, fearing that it was going to be the last achievement I unlocked for this game, if I was ever able to pull it off at all, because it's quite rare to win more than 3 times in a row. By chance (I was distracted and the game was on autoplay) I noticed what DrCanadianNinja tried to explain in the solution above, which I'll try to explain below in a simpler way.

I finished the game today as well (so I leveled up 39 more times in a few hours) at level 70 and with over 4 million coins.

First, to unlock Let's Go Streaking, you'd better go to Wild Ocean, place the minimum bet (20 coins), automatic, fast spins, and leave it be. Every now and then you'll have to check if the game is waiting for an input from you, but sometimes it will run for quite a while, just loosing your money but requiring no interaction whatsoever. What will happen, eventually is that the game will enter Deep Dive when the 3 turtles appear. This is your chance to unlock both achievements, but it's nothing you can control. The luckier you are when unlocking WILD cards during the Dive, the most likely you'll repeatedely win. So, your chance to win 10 times in a row will happen at some point, but you have to keep playing Wild Ocean/Deep Dive. There were times when it would take forever for a Dive chance and at other times it happened time and again. Eventually I went to check my achievements and there it was, so it's possible to do it in a single day and maybe it will happen without you even noticing it, if you have a few hours to spare, be patient, keep trying and also if you have a decent amount of money saved. My plan was to save 100k before I gave it a go, but that's not necessary, although even at 20 coins bet it will down your total savings quite fast.

After unlocking the Let's Go Streaking achievement, I kept playing Wild Ocean for some reason, when I noticed in a Deep Dive moment that my MAXIMUM BET button was available. That is not normal if you're having a Dive, because your dashboard options change. I realized the regular dashboard was appearing on the top of the Deep Dive one! So I pressed the Maximum Bet button (at my level 31 it was 20k), it accepted and I let it play. The good thing about the Deep Dive is that you don't loose your money once your in it, so there's no risk of loosing, only to win. I didn't reach the ocean's bottom (treasure) before I ran out of spins, but that wasn't necessary. The 'little' I won at once was a lot more than I had collected from the half hour free coins. I ended up earning 400K at once. After that happened I decided to keep playing Wild Ocean to see if and when it would happen again. It did and didn't take much longer, and I won around 400K, again. So, the only thing I'd like to clarify from DrCanadianNinja solution is that you don't have to do anything, other than simply press the maximum bet button when and if it shows up. You don't have to mash it. If it appears, simply press it and it will work.

So now that I had quite a few coins, I decided to go to the theme that I think it's the most generous, bonus wise. I went back to the first one, the jungle, and started playing it with 5k bets. It didn't take long to take me to the treasure temple bonus place and from then on I started winning big. The more I won, the more I would raise, until I was placing 20k bets and winning constantly. Even more, it would take me to the temple often so that I ended up consolidating my winnings. I finish the game placing 30k bets and then 40k bets, but if I lost too much and got below 2.8k (a random number I chose), I would go back to 20k bets until I won big at the temple again.

I hope this solution fill you guys with hope to finish this game and show you the right actions to win lots in a short period.

If this helps you in any way, feel free to leave a comment and a thumbs up.

I have taken Geoffistopheles' solution and gone one step farther. You don't need to have the max bet amount available in your bank in order to get the payout. I confirmed this when I ran out of funds. Get your free 750 from the watching the ads, then follow Geoffistopheles' max bet solution. At the time, my max bet was 20,000, which I didn't have, I got the bonus and ended up with 325k+ in credits. I would add that in order to rank up, slowly start using a higher and higher minimum bet. I still working for this achievement at the time of posting this but I plan to try a keep my bankroll at about 100k. Raising and lowering my minimum bet around 100k will help to expedite the process.
