Before I get into the post…first a note about Players Club points.  This is REALLY important, so please pay attention.   Players Club points (ico_mhub_casino_eventlevel) are NOT awarded until the item you unlock or purchase is placed (and built) in your Springfield.  So if you won a prize that’s a building, you won’t unlock the associated points until you place it in your Springfield and it has been built.  If you purchase a character, like Cat Hostess Miss. Springfield the points will not be awarded until Cat Hostess Miss. Springfield is unlocked in your town.  So don’t freak out you didn’t get the points..check to see that the item is in your town and NOT in your inventory.  

Now on with your regularly scheduled post…
