Rackets & Influence

I wanna try to discuss about this feature. I still don't have personal experience of having one, but I read a lot and would like to share the knowledges here. Enjoy! Enjoy, mate



Rackets are a replacement for Properties for some beta accounts (and new players). There are tiers that open up after you master the first tier of each racket. For example, when you master the Three-Card Monte racket a new tier opens up called Backroom Poker. Master that and Executive Game opens up and so on and so forth. You must return to collect on the racket after it completes or it gets busted by the cops and you lose the money and the influence!

Influence is a new stat that is available on some beta accounts. Influence is used to invest in Rackets.


Influences replenishes 1 point per hour. It does not refill on level-up. The maximum amount you can you hold is 20% greater than the number of skill points you have invested. So if you have 20 Influence skill points, you can "hold" up to 24 Influence points at one time (24/20).

1 Skill Point = 1 Influence


New Rackets to Manage


Rackets come in four flavors: Cash, Attack Boosts, Defensive Boosts, Job Boosts. The Attack, Defense and Job rackets each generate an initial count per instance, until the job is mastered. After mastering, you are then awarded an additional boost each time you collect the racket. For example, the Taxi Stand Racket initially generates two Free Ride boost every four hours. After you have mastered the racket you will be awarded with three Free Ride boost every four hours.

Will discuss one by one of Rackets related matters soon.. hold on.. Trinity's mood

I don't understand what to do after I open all (20?) racket slots, and master all the rackets.

There don't seem to be any in Cuba or Moscow?

Very disappointing.

I think it sux cause now i have to add influence points while other players dont have this stat to skill its unfair that i habe a additional skill to put points in to while my friends who joined a week before I do dont have to and have propertys and can earn millions each hours ....

Before, I could refill my influence with godfather points. Now this option is not available anymore.
I really enjoyed playing Mafia Wars, but this thing of "changing the rules" in the middle of the game, is really disappointing. You can not trust on the game rules.

I dont have see the different types of rackets available in my game! Dont even see the influence bar at the top! My racket system is only using cash to shake it, then wait a certain duration before it gives a profit, but no boost at all!

I have bought and opened all off the businesses. My personal favorite is Mr. Hot Sauce. He is a +100 fight defense boost. It comes for the fee of 128 influence every 48 hours. Or if you want money, the executive game will pay you 39,000,000 every 4 hours, and i can do 20 at a time for 38 influence each. 780 mil every 4 hours isn't bad...

So let me get this straight...those few of us who have rackets get screwed because we don't have properties, but at least we get good boosts. Those RARE few of us who have rackets, but no influence get screwed twice. I'm starting to walk funny...

I hate the rackets but for some reason I still have slum lord and cashing out in Achievements seems like to me that zynga has halfast some stupid up grade when I can never achieve the achievements. don't you think they should have changed the achievements as well? Please tell me how I will ever get enough money for the nest egg? P.S. Plus you still get the money plate I guess to stick up the rackets ass!
