| FarmVille players report randomly scoring free Farm Cash Posted: 30 Jul 2010 02:30 AM PDT Filed under: Farmville  They are receiving the free cash and do not know what has triggered the extra FarmVille dollars. So far, reports have been in increments of 5 FV$, 10 FV$, 20FV$, 22 FV$. As everyone knows, farm cash is hard to come by, so it is unlikely that the big Z is intentionally rewarding random farmers with free cash. This article originally appeared on FarmVille Freak. How about you -- have you received free random farm cash?

Your friends who cannot afford to get one, can use your booth to take pictures too and you will win some coins. Zynga's Platinum Ninja explains this new feature. Read more about it after the link.  To interact with this item you will need to either have one yourself or go to a friend's home (who owns this item). To get a Photo Booth of your own you'll have to purchase it when it becomes available in game. Once you have a Photo Booth to interact with you will click on it and your avatar will jump on the surfboard. Then a picture will be taken of your avatar catching some waves. You'll then be prompted to "Share" your photo. Make sure to click share and show off your skills on your Facebook Wall.  If you don't have a Photo Booth but want to have a surfing session of your own you still can! Keep your eyes out for your friend's Surfing Feeds and click (in) to be taken to your friend's Photo Booth. Remember to share your photo so you can show off your surfing skills and get your friend some extra coins! Well that's about all folks! We'll update you with more details when this feature is live in game but wanted to give you a little heads up on what to expect soon. This article originally appeared on YoVille Lounge.

| FarmVille rolls out new mystery grab bag, more suggestive pop-ups Posted: 30 Jul 2010 02:00 AM PDT Filed under: Farmville  FarmVille added a few tweaks to the game today, including more suggestion pop-ups. Lately, you may have noticed pop-ups reminding you to add a Facebook friend as a neighbor. Now there will be others that will, for instance, let you know if a neighbor started a co-op job and needs your help or something else along those lines. OK, before you say "Uh, more pop-ups! Lame!" -- one you click on the pop-ups, you'll be able to send a grab bag to your neighbor. Takes away some of the sting of having to deal with more pop-ups -- right? At least a little? No word on what the mystery bag gifts are yet, but will post 'em when we got 'em.  Did you get a special Grab Bag yet? What did you find inside?

| What legal online gambling could mean to social gaming Posted: 30 Jul 2010 01:00 AM PDT Filed under: Poker Blitz, Zynga Poker  Since 2006, online gambling has been illegal in the United States, forcing the lucrative market overseas. The law has also forced social gaming companies to make their Facebook poker games into strictly fake-money affairs (even though many players buy and sell chips for real money through shady third-party services).That could all be set to change though, with word that the House Financial Services Committee has passed a measure that would legalize and regulate many forms of online gambling, including online poker. If and when the bill eventually becomes law, social games like Zynga's HoldEm Poker, Playdom's World Series of Poker and the millions of other Facebook poker games would seem perfectly positioned to open up the floodgates for real-money bets (assuming Facebook was willing to allow them to, that is). Apparently we're not the only ones to think so, either -- Business Insider quotes a "source close to Zynga" as saying that the company "would be excited to move into real-money poker given the opportunity." But why stop there? Legal gambling could spread to all sorts of social games. Imagine an in-game Farmville slot machine that takes real money (in the form of Facebook Credits) and occasionally gives back a Farmville cash jackpot. Or imagine having the ability to bet with friends on the outcome of a Bejeweled Blitz high score contest. With many social games already resembling glorified slot machines, we shudder to think at the addictive (and pocketbook-destroying) potential that real-world gambling could have on the social gaming space.

| FarmVille goes New England coastal with Crab Shack, Antique Store Posted: 29 Jul 2010 06:00 PM PDT Filed under: Farmville
Want to escape to the New England coast? FarmVille's making it happen with a series of new limited edition items which includes a Crab Shack (350,000 coins) and Antique Shop (42 Farm Cash, or roughly $8). Both of these buildings will be around for the next 11 days only. These two structures look so New England-y that we can almost taste the crab and smell the ocean in the air.
If you have images of either of these new limited edition buildings, send them to me at libe@games.com, and they may be featured here! Did you buy either of these new buildings? Are they worth the coins/cash?

| FarmVille: New HUD makes it easier to gift active farmers Posted: 29 Jul 2010 05:01 PM PDT Filed under: Farmville  In tonight's release, FarmVille has rolled out a new HUD (heads up display) icon on the left-hand side of the screen that helps you keep track of which friends have played recently. If you click on the icon, you will then get a pop-up that will let you send a gift to friends who've been active on their farms. Might not seem like a big deal at first, but it's actually a big improvement if you want to send gifts to neighbors who are most active in the game. Happy gifting, farmers!  What do you think of the new HUD?
