Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Level 58 hit our devices last week and with it arrived a little taste of the Vegas Mob…Johnny Tightlips and Plato’s casino! Now I know you may be trying to decide if this is worth YOUR donuts, but don’t sweat it! We’re here to tell you what’s worth the donuts and what you might want to hold off on.
Wondering if you should add Johnny to YOUR Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this mobster to YOUR Springfield!
Building/Decoration: Plato’s Republic Casino
Character: Johnny Tightlips
Donut Price: 175 donuts
Earns: $300, 30xp/12hrs
Conform-O-Meter: No impact
Size: 13×8
Level Requirement: Must be at Level 58, unless offered Early Access when the update first hit
Pros:
-Comes with a quest line
-Premium character earns 50% more on all cash and xp than a freemium character
-Building is animated when in use, and will be in use with several of Johnny’s tasks.
-Voiced
Cons:
-Pricey. A bit on the high side for the character/building combo
-No conform-o-meter impact.
-No character interaction after initial questline.
Final Thought:
Premium Take:
This is a combo I like, mostly because I love the Vegas Mob history. So it just reminds me of that. But it’s also not a bad buy. While I’m not a fan of the price, I do like the fact that Johnny is voiced and will use the casino for several tasks. Plus he’s got some fun outdoor tasks. So in my opinion if you’re a premium player this is one combo to pick up.
Freemium Take:
Freemium players this is one of those “eh” combos. There are far better combos in the game for the donuts and nostalgia factor of TSTO than this one. I think the 175 donuts pushes this out of the freemium list for me. You’re better off saving your donuts for Akira…
Of course in the end it’s your decision, we can only tell you what we would/wouldn’t do…and I can tell you I will be purchasing this combo. However, this is NOT a Limited-Time Item so take your time with your thought process. Johnny will still be there in a few weeks. So if you’re on the fence or worried about saving up your donuts relax..there’s no rush to get him.
Johnny’s Permanent Tasks:
| Task | Length | Earns | Location |
| Punish a Cheater | 1hr | $105, 26xp | Plato’s |

| Act like Nobody Shot him | 8hrs | $420, 105xp | Outdoor |
| Take Care of Business | 12hrs | $600, 150xp | Outdoor |
