Big (Not-so) Sweet Land - Field Trip
2 days ago, Dear and I decided to make a trip down to PS (Plaza Singapura). Our motive was simply to check out the arcade there and walk around. A secondary objective of mine was to take pictures of the machine. There was someone playing Big Sweet Land and we got the chance to observe him play. He just got to Bonus A when we began watching and much to Dear's delight, he gave up playing after a while.
As he stooped down to collect his winnings, we loitered nearby, eyeing his seat like vultures circling over a wildebeest carcass. The moment he left, Dear immediately pounced on the seat.
To my surprise, we can actually continue his game! I mentioned in my earlier post that it's better to continue someone's game but I said that without knowing that whatever score the previous player has accumulated goes to the one continuing the game. That is to say, when we continued the game, we started off at Bonus A , instead of starting from the bottom. Now, isn't that neat? We saved at least $10 simply because the previous player has already provided us with the foundation.
We spent only $30 to get to the top and win the jackpot prize. Dear was elated. Of course, she was. Compared to the usual $40 to $50 we spend to get the jackpot prize, $30 was really a steal. We left the arcade in high spirits.
Here's what we won:
And here's Dear looking oh-so happy with the prize:
