Donut Day Offers

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Happy National Donut Day!

In honor of Donut Day EA has dropped a few donut offers in our games, as well as a few sweet donut inspired items returning to our stores!  Should you buy any of them?  Let’s take a look…

First up, ICYMI EA gave everyone 15 Free Donuts in honor of Donut Day…

These triggered in-game starting May 30th.  So basically, if you logged into your game at all over the last 2 days you should have received these.  If you haven’t logged into your game do so before June 6th when the free donuts will disappear!

All Donut Day Deals/Items Leave Stores June 6th…

So let’s talk about the returning items in the store…

 Donut Truck- 40 Donuts.  2% bonus on all cash and XP. 4×3 in size. When tapped lights flash and the horn goes off.  1 per Springfield.  Opinion On it: Meh.  Bonus % is decent for donuts spent…that’s about it.

 Donut Store- 100 Donuts. Earns $200, 22xp/8hrs.  3×6 in size.  Comes with a 4hr task for Marge (Shop for donuts, 4hrs earns $260, 70xp).  Building animation, door opens.  1 per Springfield. Task does remain after initial questline. Opinion On It: It’s a store.  Stores aren’t worth 100 donuts if they don’t come with a character

Donut Truck- 225 Donuts. 5% bonus on all cash and XP. 9×5 in size, goes in the ocean.  When tapped pink steam comes out and it rains donuts for 8 seconds. 1 per Springfield Opinion On It: Not worth the donuts spent, no matter how cool it is to rain donuts.  5% for 225 donuts is no Bueno.  Pass.

Now let’s move onto the offers in the store..you know the ones you have to spend real money on…

Ok so for the first two items, the Triple Baker’s Dozen and Double Stack of Donuts you get even more donuts for your money.  Worth it.

For the next round, Tray of Donuts, Truckload and Boatload (don’t buy the store, there’s no special bonus with that) you’ll get Golden Scratch-rs with your purchase.  That could be awesome or it could be terrible.  It all depends on what scratch-rs you get.  You can check out the Golden Scratch-Rs odds and payouts in this post.

This one is kind of a toss-up.  If you were planning on buying donuts anyway it’s not a bad bonus, but don’t get it just because of the Scratch-Rs because you could end up with crummy winnings.

Plus as a side note: It does look like a little later in the event we’ll be getting one of the characters linked to a donut purchase (Truckload I believe).  So if you’re planning on getting donuts you may want to wait until that hits to do so.  I’d rather get a character than Scratch-Rs….
