Casino Event 101: Crafting Prize Breakdowns

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

So a few weeks ago I broke down the ins and outs of crafting.  I explained how to craft, how to level up and how you unlocked the currency.  What I didn’t explain is what each item does, how it impacts your Springfield and if it’s worth crafting.

So now, I’m taking the time to break down each and every craftable item for the Casino Event.  Giving you the info about it, spacing required and if it’s worth crafting or not.  So without further ado I bring you the craftable prize breakdown post…

Remember, if you’re confused about crafting…and how to level up…check out our crafting guide post that can be found here.  This will breakdown the ins, outs & how-tos of crafting and leveling up for the Casino Event.  This particular post, is just for breaking down each craftable item…what it does, how big and if it’s worth it…

Also, keep in mind that if you’ve unlocked every prize from all three acts you’ll still need around 2,000  to unlock the rest of the Players Club prizes.  You’ll have to make that difference up in crafting if you don’t plan on spending donuts on items.  So if you want the Black Diamond Tower you’ll have to craft everything you can to earn enough points.  More details about the players club can be found here. 

Let’s quickly talk about Courtesy Chips…

Courtesy Chips are earned when you lose at one of the Casino games.  They can ONLY be exchanged for Prize Chips…10  = 100 .  As of right now there is no other use for them…so turn them in for chips.

Now onto the prize breakdowns….

OK, let’s start with the Level 1 Prizes…

Item: Walk of Fame Star
Cost: 8 
Club Points Earned: 10  on first 4
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +10
Size: 1×1
Limit: Limited to 4 at Level 1, 4 more at Level 2 (so 8 total), Limit is lifted once you reach Level 3. 
What Does It Do?: Nothing, just a decoration that sits in your town
Is It Worth it?: In my opinion, not really.  It’s pretty tiny and really doesn’t make much of an impact in your town.  However, if you’re towards the end and have crafted everything you wanted it may be good to spend some keychains on this one.

Item: Ficus Plant
Cost: 5  5 
Club Points Earned: 50  on first 8
Conform-O-Meter: Tree-Hugging +200
Size: 1×1
Limit: Limited to 2 at Level 1, 2 more at Level 2 (so 4 total), Limit is lifted once you reach Level 3. 
What Does It Do?: Nothing, just a decoration that sits in your town
Is It Worth it?: If you like it, and have crafted all of the other “top” crafting items…go for it.

Item: Cycling Spotlight
Cost: 12
Club Points Earned: 10  on first 4
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +80
Size: 1×1
Limit: Limited to 2 at Level 1, 2 more at Level 2 (so 4 total), Limit is lifted once you reach Level 3. 
What Does It Do?: Cycles through various colors.  You just tap once to turn on and it’ll change colors on its own.  
Is It Worth it?: I like this one.  I like that it changes colors on its own so you just have to tap once.  Can really add to the Vegas feel.  I’d craft a couple of these…

Item: Constant Fountain 
Cost: 10 
Club Points Earned: 25  on first 4
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +50
Size: 2×2
Limit: Limited to 2 at Level 1, 2 more at Level 2 (so 4 total), Limit is lifted once you reach Level 3. 
What Does It Do?: As the title says, it’s a fountain that runs constantly…when it runs it’ll look like this (all the time):

Is It Worth it?: If you like fountains, sure. However, I like the sequence fountains better…personally.

Item: Sequence Fountain 1
Cost: 10
Club Points Earned: 25  on first 4
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +50
Size: 2×2
Limit: Limited to 2 at Level 1, 2 more at Level 2 (so 4 total), Limit is lifted once you reach Level 3. 
What Does It Do?: Similar to the Constant Fountain, however this has a “resting” position (pictured in the image above).  So, again like the title, it’ll run in a sequence.  Every few seconds it’ll go up and down (designed to work well with Sequence Fountains 2, 3 & 4)
Is It Worth it?: If you like fountains, sure. But use it with the other sequence fountains…it’ll create a better effect.

Onto Level 2 Crafting….

Item: Cowgirl Sign
Cost: 20  35 
Club Points Earned: 120  
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +150
Size: 2×2
Limit: Limited to 1 and only 1.  So this is a unique item. 
What Does It Do?: Just like all of the other signs…although this one is a little on the smaller side.  It sits on the ground and isn’t elevated like some of the others.  Here’s how it looks:

Is It Worth it?: If you’ve been collecting the signs then yes.  Personally I do think it’s a bit on the small side, but it’s not a bad addition to the town.

Item: Exotic Tree
Cost: 5  10 
Club Points Earned: 25  on first 4
Conform-O-Meter: Tree-Hugging +300
Size: 2×2
Limit: Limited to 4 at Level 2 once you reach Level 3 you can have as many as you’d like.
What Does It Do?: Like the Ficus, it’s just a tree.  Looks cool, but just a tree doesn’t do much else. 
Is It Worth it?: If you like it go for it.  Could add some nice design elements to your town.

Item: Sequence Fountain 2
Cost: 10
Club Points Earned: 25  on first 4
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +50
Size: 2×2
Limit: Limited to 4 at Level 2, once you reach Level 3 you can have as many as you’d like
What Does It Do?: Similar to the Constant Fountain, however this has a “resting” position (pictured in the image above).  So, again like the title, it’ll run in a sequence.  Every few seconds it’ll go up and down (designed to work well with Sequence Fountains 1, 3 & 4)
Is It Worth it?: If you like fountains, sure. But use it with the other sequence fountains…it’ll create a better effect.

Item: Sequence Fountain 3
Cost: 5 5 
Club Points Earned: 25  on first 4
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +50
Size: 2×2
Limit: Limited to 4 at Level 2, once you reach Level 3 you can have as many as you’d like
What Does It Do?: Similar to the Constant Fountain, however this has a “resting” position (pictured in the image above).  So, again like the title, it’ll run in a sequence.  Every few seconds it’ll go up and down (designed to work well with Sequence Fountains 1, 2 & 4)
Is It Worth it?: If you like fountains, sure. But use it with the other sequence fountains…it’ll create a better effect.

Item: Spruce Moose
Cost: 60 80 
Club Points Earned: 480  
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +300
Size: 7×7
Limit: Limited to 1 and only 1.  So this is a unique item. 
What Does It Do?: When tapped it hovers in the air, similar to the hovercopter.  But it does not go very far off of the ground.  Here’s how it looks in the air:

Is It Worth it?: It’s cool…especially if you have an airport.  It’s one of the better crafting items…but it is a little disappointing that there isn’t more to it. However, based on the items available I’d say this is a must craft…

And finally Level 3 crafting…

Item: Dupes Sign
Cost: 5  10 
Club Points Earned: 120  
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +150
Size: 2×3
Limit: Limited to 1 and only 1.  So this is a unique item. 
What Does It Do?: Just like all of the other signs.  This is higher than the Cowgirl and it lights up.  Here’s how it looks:

Is It Worth it?: If you’ve been collecting the signs then yes.  I like this one better than the Cowgirl myself.

Item: Multicolored Spotlight
Cost: 5  10 
Club Points Earned: 10  on first 4
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +80
Size: 1×1
Limit: Since this unlocks at Level 3, you can have as many as you want.  
What Does It Do?: Cycles through various colors.  However, unlike the Cycling Spotlight, this does not automatically change colors.  You have to tap it to change colors each time.  Here’s a look at the colors:

Is It Worth it?: I like this one too.  Especially if you have several of them, you can set different colors for various buildings/items.

Item: Sequence Fountain 4
Cost: 10 
Club Points Earned: 25  on first 4
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +50
Size: 2×2
Limit: Since this unlocks at Level 3, you can have as many as you’d like
What Does It Do?: Similar to the Constant Fountain, however this has a “resting” position (pictured in the image above).  So, again like the title, it’ll run in a sequence.  Every few seconds it’ll go up and down (designed to work well with Sequence Fountains 1, 3 & 4)
Is It Worth it?: If you like fountains, sure. But use it with the other sequence fountains…it’ll create a better effect.
Here’s a look at a few fountains together…

Item: Nero’s Fountain
Cost: 5  10 
Club Points Earned: 120  on first 2
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +100
Size: 5×8
Limit: Since this unlocks at Level 3, you can have as many as you’d like
What Does It Do?: Another fountain.  This one just runs all the time.  
Is It Worth it?: If you like fountains, sure. Adds a nice design element for in from of Nero’s

Item: Safari Casino
Cost: 80  60 
Club Points Earned: 480  (it’s supposed to award this…at least that’s what it indicated during Act 1…)
Conform-O-Meter: Consumerism +10
Size: 10×19
Earns: $90. 10xp/4hrs
Limit: Only 1 per Springfield, so this is a unique item.
What Does It Do?: Another casino, although this one has a cool rollercoaster animation when in use.  Brockman has a 10hr task there, to Research Fluff News, which will animate the building.  Here’s a look at it when in use:

Is It Worth it?: It is massive, but this is probably one of my favorite Casinos from the entire event.  I love the animation on the Roller Coaster.  To me this is the best prize for crafting.

And that completes the rundown of each prize.  Of course what you might value as important will be different than what others thing is important.  For example, the Safari Casino was the number 1 priority for me.  But for someone else it might be the Spruce Moose, or one of the signs.  So it’s up to you to look at each item and decide what you would or wouldn’t like to have in your Springfield and craft away accordingly.
