I Got The Jackpot! Not!

One of our friend won the Jackpot on Slot Machine game inside Mafia Wars!
But instead getting his Jackpot prize for 31,160 Reward Points, he only got 240 RPs!

You can win the Jackpot once your Slot Machine giving you 3 different colors of Mafia Wars text and you have to play 3 RPs at a time!



Please read on the email..
Hi,

I'm writing you this mail to let other player know how Zynga handle things.

While playing the slot machine to get RP I won the 3 Mafia Wars different logo (black, red & grey) but I won only 240RP. Wasn't I supposed to win the Jackpot? Find screen shot attached.

Please let the other player know about how Zynga handles thing so that they don't get upset.

Wow, that's rude!
So far I have good experience with Zynga Customer Support.. whenever I need their help regarding Game Play etc, they always come in handy and fix the problem and sometimes giving us good compensations.
But it will be completely different if it is dealing with Reward Points! This is a very sensitive case for both site.

On Anas case, I think all players are eligible to win their Jackpot money!
That's why we play this mini game everyday to have chance to win the Jackpot...

So what about the this Jackpot winners?


Is this all fake?
Why don't they put the reward for hitting Jackpot is 240 RPs! To seduce you to play more and spend more RPs, of course!
But in a very bad and tricky way... bad Zynga!

The same thing also happen to some other friends that I know.. They didn't want to let this issue go away. So almost everyday they are annoying Zynga Support asking about this and sometimes got some freebies from Zynga Support.
Well, sometimes they got kicked out from Live Chat with Support team too..

I only hope that Zynga can be honest with us.. no cheap trick or dirty strategy.. We love the game!


Edited my blog post :
Silly me, Zynga is right.
Anas only deserve 240 RPs because he won 3 of any logos.
To win Jackpot should start with Red + Gray + Black logo! My bad.. I apologize for this bad post
Thanks to all friends for helping me understand this.


PS : Thanks to Anas who kindly share this news to all of us.

Ade to win a jackpot you must get 3 mafia wars signs as its shown... first must be read second must be gray and last one black :)

Ade Andriyani said... [Reply to comment]

I don't think so :p
The logos should be in 3 colors, not in particular order...
Our friend got his Jackpot but only given 240 RPs as the prize.. :((

Anonymous said... [Reply to comment]

Dawid is right. It has to be red, grey, black. The screenshot above shows black, red, grey which would be any 3 signs in any order winning 240 RP's

Mafia Wars Loot Lady said... [Reply to comment]

Someone sent me an e-mail about this a while ago. I'll try to find it and make a post. I believe Zynga told him what Dawid did in that the colors had to be in the order that is shown. The second to the last person listed to get the jackpot is in one of my groups but he didn't take a screen shot :(

Raphael said... [Reply to comment]

I think the order actually needs to be as showen in the picture.
cuz if u look there's "any 3 logos" and the prize is 240RP,

so this dude anas actually made a mistake, don't get me wrong i thought order doesn't meter neither, but now i see it does :/.
another obstacle by zynga on the way to jackpot ^^

Anonymous said... [Reply to comment]

Ade: Zynga was right, everything is fair. To win the jackpot, you have to have them in order red, gray, black and any other order will be considered a three logos and the reward is 80X3=240. This is common for real slots.

Anonymous said... [Reply to comment]

The jackpot should be red, gray and black.. and it is correct that he won 240RP because it belongs to the "Any Three Logos" which pays 240 when you bet 3.. kindly look at the table.

Anonymous said... [Reply to comment]

Actually to win a jackpot, you must get 3 mafia wars sign with (Red-Gray-Black) only. In that case (Black-Red-Gray), you win Any three logos with 240 RP. So that's not wrong. Really not win the jackpot.

Anonymous said... [Reply to comment]

all is correct! there is any tree logos and if you play with 3rp you can get 240rp.If want to get JACKPOT need to get RED,Gray & Black

Anonymous said... [Reply to comment]

This happened to me once too and its true the colors DO have to be in a particular order:Red, White, and Black.

djiang09 said... [Reply to comment]

the above poster is right, it has to be in that exact order, otherwise it matches the "any three logos" for 240 rps

Same here man they just rob people they took 800rp and nothing give to me back i play from now CRIME CITY better then mafia zynga robes we all now mafia war is dead evry day losing many many players here i got replay from the basterd Response (Ralph A.) 12/22/2010 06:52 PM
Hello xxxxxx,

Thanks for contacting Zynga Customer Support. Your issue was brought to my attention and I wanted to take the time to reach out. After reviewing the history of your slot machine activity it is confirmed that your profile did not win the 800 reward points as you had previously stated. I have reviewed all slot machine history (wins and losses) for the past few weeks. Any slot machine win would have been easily detected on our record log. I apologize however no compensation can be issued unless a registered against our record log. All slot machine wins are confirmed against our transaction history.

Thank you for your understanding.

Kind regards,
Ralph A.

? ANY THREE LOGOS = 240!! so whats wrong?? jackpot should be, Red, Silver then Black MW logo in particular order,

Anonymous said... [Reply to comment]

well it clearly said there
"ANY THREE LOGOS" = 240 RP
its not tricky
as per Dawid said
Jackpot should be red-gray-black

Anonymous said... [Reply to comment]

I've found Zynga to be rude every time I have written them (twice)!

Lucas said... [Reply to comment]

If you look , it says " any three logo's 240 RP" , it does HAVE to be color co-ordinated too , so he did receive the correct amount , Zynga just didn't explain that to him.

Anonymous said... [Reply to comment]

thats what he got any 3 logos is 240 rp. its what dawid said, first red, then gray and finally black.

Anonymous said... [Reply to comment]

He supposed to win 240 RP, because he had ANY THREE LOGOS. His score doesn't match necessary order.

Q Rhinehardt said... [Reply to comment]

He won the any three logos for 240rp. yes it has to be in the correct order otherwise there should not be a win payout for any three logos. Its just like real slot machines that way.

Anonymous said... [Reply to comment]

I agree with Dawid.

Anas got the correct amount of reward points based on what is shown in his screen shot and the screen shot of the pay table. His screen shot shows the Mafia Wars logos in this order: Black, Red, Gray. This is equal to "Any Three Logos" which would mean any three "Mafia Wars" logos in any order or any differing combination. The 3 RPs payout for this is 240 Reward Points which is what Anas got. Now had Anas got the "Mafia Wars" logs in the order of Red, Gray, Black, he would have won the Jackpot.

This concept is similar to some of the real slot machines that I've played in Las Vegas, Reno, Atlantic City, and tribal casinos over the years. Where, to win the jackpot, the color of the items on the payline must be in a specific order. If they are in a different order the machines pays a lesser amount.

What is really lacking here is the fact that Zynga couldn't provide a better explanation to Anas.

Anonymous said... [Reply to comment]

No MWM, it has to be RED - GREY - BLACK as shown.

instead what his qualified for was the "Any Three Logos" payout.

Anonymous said... [Reply to comment]

Any 3 logos not in order will pay out like it says in line 5 of payout.. Like Dawid mentions, must be in the same color order.. If its in a different order, it falls under "Any Three Logos". Which pays 240 for 3 credits.. He got exactly what he should have.. Surprised Zynga did not explain it better.

Anonymous said... [Reply to comment]

Don't know what's the fuss about this.
The table clearly says "Any 3 logo" = 240
Yes, the order is important...

MattMan said... [Reply to comment]

I agree with David.. Anas got the correct amount. Look at 5th one down ( Any three logos ). Jackpot is RED, GRAY, and BLACK logos in that order only!!

Emona Al. said... [Reply to comment]

I think Dawid is right.. 240 RPs is the reward for "Any Three Logos"

Anonymous said... [Reply to comment]

hey Ade,

to get the jackpot there are 2 condition

1. play 3 RPs
2. Get Mafia Wars logo in the following order (Red-Gray-Black)

other rewards are (playing 3 RPs)

Red-Red-Red: 2400 RPs
Gray-Gray-Gray: 600 RPs
Black-Black-Black- 450 RPs

Any three Mafia Wars logo in any combination except Red-Gray-Black you will ger: 240 RPs

Our friend here got Black-Red-Gray and so he got 240 RPs as the chart shows. As he fall under the condition of any three logos.

I hope you got what I mean? ^_^

Anonymous said... [Reply to comment]

yes dawid was correct in what he said,,you need to get the 3 logos in the order shown to get the JP..if you get the red logo, grey logo, black logo in that order you get the JP. what he got was 3 logos in any order which pays 240rp, i have been through this with zynga myself a while back when lucky stash first came out. it does suck as when i got it i thought the same :(

Ade Andriyani said... [Reply to comment]

Hi all, hi Jen,
Yes, sorry.. I just got it..
Any 3 logos for 240 RPs..

Apologize for this..
Zynga was not wrong. Only their reply was not correct :p

It's clear now : "You can get the Jackpot when you get the Mafia Wars logo in the following order, Red, Gray and Black!"

Thanks for the confirmation, guys :))

WOW, That really is rude!

Can anyone honestly say that they know anyone who has won these ridiculously high jackpots. I think they just put that list up there to make people believe it is real. I have been screwed by zynga countless times. I have never found a person who has legitimately won a jackpot.
