I have been playing myVegas Blackjack since it was released. I have just recently finished grinding out all the gold achievements on the 'my strip' board. My strip currently ends at Luxor and they have not added more since the past two updates.

CONCLUSION
INTRODUCTION:
So you've discovered, myVEGAS, the new facebook game where you can earn real prizes for MGM Resort properties in Las Vegas! From rooms to buffets, and shows to hot clubs, earn them all just by playing this addicting game!
Just a quick walk-through of how this game works. There are a number of casino related games, such as blackjack, and different sets of slot machines. Using chips you obtain through various methods, you can places bets on these games, and when a certain amount of betting has been placed, you earn a set number of Loyalty Points. Your chip stack may go up or down just like in a real gambling situation, but you'll get Loyalty Points regardless. You can use these Loyalty Points to redeem a number of different rewards. The more chips you earn, the longer you can play, and the more Loyalty Points you'll earn. In essence, this game is all about managing your chip stack, and betting proper amounts to maximize your potential Loyalty Points.
Using the methods described below, and following the set of rules in the myVEGAS guide, in under a month, I was able to gather over 500,000 chips, and over 50,000 Loyalty Points, which is over $100 in comp value.
GETTING MORE CHIPS:
There are several methods to get more chips. Keep in mind, most of these methods are based on having myVEGAS friends. The more friends you have, the more chips you can get, so get as many friends as you can.
Purchase more chips
I think the entire appeal of this game is to get freebies. I don't feel that purchasing chips is necessary, but to support this game, I have made a purchase of my own. If you find that you appreciate the game, maybe make a small purchase to support all their hard work.Visit the myVEGAS app page
From time to time, the people at PLAYSTUDIOS, makers of the game, will release time and click sensitive links where you can get chips by simply clicking it. They usually give out 500 chips per link, but have seen upwards of 5000 chips. Sometimes, but very rarely, they will release a link that gives out Loyalty Points. The last one released was 500 Loyalty Points.Email Freebies
If you are a subscriber to the game, from time to time, you will receive a link for more chips. Typically about 500-1000 chips and again, just click to earn.Property Bonuses
One of the objectives of the game is to build all the MGM properties of the Las Vegas strip by collecting V's in the numerous games. When successfully built, each property will release a set amount of chips at specified time intervals. When you initially start the game, you'll be provided with 3 related venues to gather chips. You'll receive a helicopter pad, a chapel, and a strip-mall, and as you level up and play, you'll be able to build more buildings and collect bigger rewards. The following chart provides a more detailed breakdown. MGM Grand is slightly different as it's the only hotel that provides Loyalty Points as a reward.Property Level Built Time Interval Chips Daily Potential Helicopter Pad 1 15 min 15 1440 Chapel 1 15 min 15 1440 Strip-Mall 1 1 hr 60 1440 Monte Carlo 1 2 hrs 200 2400 Circus Circus 2 2 hrs 250 3000 NY-NY 4 2 hrs 300 3600 Mirage 9 4 hrs 800 4800 Excalibur 18 4 hrs 950 5700 Bellagio 28 4 hrs 1100 6600 Luxor 38 6 hrs 1800 7200 Aria 48 6 hrs 2200 8800 Mandalay Bay 58 6 hrs 2600 10400 MGM Grand 68 8hrs 100 LP 300 LP Special Holidays/Events ?? ?? ?? During special occasions and holidays, there are sometimes additional bonuses you can get. As an example, during Thanksgiving, there were 2 turkey pens giving out 50 LP each.
NOTE: As of this moment, there is a special event where all properties give out random amounts of chips or LPs. I don't believe this is permanent but will update the guide as needed.
Daily Spin
The daily spin is a special bonus feature available every 22 hours. You spin a wheel, which contains different prizes of both chips and Loyalty Points. The amount earned is dependent on a 5 factors: your current level, the bonus you hit on the wheel, amount of days played in a row, number of friends you have, and if you've liked the myVEGAS app page or not.The following chart provides the different values of the wheel depending on your tier level.
Levels 100150250500100010-24t2504006001750100 LP50060010002000500045-64800100020005000400 LP10001250200040001000085-10415002250400012500500 LP15002000250010000150 LP125-14420002500500015000750 LP20002500300012500200 LP165+250030005000150001000 LPThen based on the number of days you've played in a row, the multiplier starts at x1, and increments by x0.5 to a maximum of x3.
So x1, x1.5, x2, x2.5, x3
Then based on the number of friends you have, you're able to get another x5.
0 Friends - x0, 1-5 Friends - x1, 6-10 Friends - x1.5, 11-20 Friends - x1.5, 21-35 Friends - x3,36-50 Friends - x4, 51+ Friends - x5
You also get another x0.25 multiplier if you've liked your the myVEGAS app page.
So in all, your Total Multipler = # Day Multiplier + # Friends Multiplier + Like Multiplier
For Example, let's say you've won 100 chips on the wheel and max out in all the categories.
Your final amount will be 100 x [3(#Days Multiplier) + 5(#Friends Multiplier) + 0.25(Like Multiplier)] = 825 chips
Gifting
If you have friends in the game, you'll be able to gift them chips every 12 hours. When you first invite them for gifting, you'll receive 100 chips, with subsequent gifts at 50 chips. When they receive they gift, they'll be able to return the gift to you as well. You are permitted unlimited gifts, so the more friends, the better, but this becomes a tedious task, as you can only click on 7 gifts at a time before having to reload the app and repeat.
For the initial invite, go to the More tab on the top left of the screen, and click on Invite Friends.
Then choose the Select All Friends or just the myVEGAS players, cleck on the “Select all friends” link on the bottom and then hit the “Send invites” tab.
To send gifts, you can either click on the avatar on your mySTRIP and send them one at a time(don't recommend), or simply go to the More tab again, and click on Send Gifts. There you can see who to gift, and when you can gift.
Leveling Up
When you level up, you automatically get a chip and loyalty bonus. These bonuses aren't very much but it's always nice to get more freebies.Feeds Links (YOU GET THE MOST CHIPS HERE)
This is the absolute best and easiest way to get a lot of chips. There is a rolling cap of 50,000 chips every 24 hours, but that is still a lot of chips. When the feeds switch to “Impressive” instead of telling you how many chips you've earned, you've maxed it out. I max this out every day, and it takes me less than 10 minutes.While playing the game, when you level up, hit a bonus, a big jackpot, and other things, you'll see a Share button. When you share these events, everyone single one of your myVEGAS friends will receive a link. When you click on these links, you will receive anywhere from 50 to 201 chips depending on where the link originated. Having more myVEGAS friends, means that you get a lot of these links, and every link you click means more chips. This is an incredibly easy, but tedious task. Thankfully, there's a much easier way to do this.
Go to the Game Feeds app page and install and select the myVEGAS game. After loading, you'll see a limited list of about 50 links you can click to get more chips. However, if you scroll all the way to the bottom, you'll see a “More feeds for myVEGAS”. If you click on that more, more feeds will appear. You can keep scrolling down and clicking on the link to show more feeds. When you either max out the feeds, or think it's enough, scroll back to the very top and press the “COLLECT” button. You have the option to change the collection speed to better adjust to your computer and internet speed. This takes 5-10 minutes of my time, and I do it twice a day, once before I start my day, and once before I end my day. It's the easiest 50,000 chips you can earn as it's mostly automated.Viva myVEGAS(Only for iPhone - for now)
Unfortunately, this is only available for the iPhone and it's sister set of devices. If you go the the appstore, you can download an app called Viva myVEGAS. It's an app that allows for some extra bonuses and fun on your next Las Vegas trip. On the Viva myVEGAS app page, they'll occasionally release a scan code where you can spin another wheel and accumulate more free chips and Loyalty Points.
EARNING LOYALTY POINTS
Purchasing Chips
Occasionally, there will be promotions where when you purchase chips, you will get Loyalty Points as a bonus. Again, I don't feel this is worth it, but if you enjoy the game, purchase something to support the game.Visit the myVEGAS app page
As mentioned above, sometimes myVEGAS will post on their app page Loyalty Points as a freebie. I've only seen it once, but it was 500 Loyalty Points, and well worth the single click.Hotel Bonuses
The only hotel that gives Loyalty Points right now is MGM Grand. You can build it at level 68, and will release 100 Loyalty Points every 8 hours.During some special events or holidays, new ways to acquire LP are implemented. There's no way to predict what gets implemented, but to give you an example, during Thanksgiving, there were 2 extra turkey pens you could click to get 50 LP each. For Christmas time, the business/hotels were randomly generating Loyalty Points instead of chips when clicking on them.
NOTE: As of this moment, there is a special event where all properties give out random amounts of chips or LPs. I don't believe this is permanent but will update the guide as needed.Daily Spin
As mentioned earlier, the daily spin can give out Loyalty Points. Everything else remains consistently the same as winning chips.Gifting
Every day, you will earn 100 Loyalty Points for the first 20 people you re-gift to at 5 Loyalty Points per person.Leveling Up
As with chips, with each level up, you gain a small amount of Loyalty Points. However, because of the rarity of Loyalty Points, this is actually a pretty significant amount. It ranges anywhere from 50 to 1000 Loyalty Points. The higher level you are, the more Loyalty Points you earn, keeping in mind, it's much more difficult to level up in the higher levels.Viva myVEGAS(Only for iPhone - for now)
Same thing as the chips, except you have a chance to win Loyalty Points as well.Gameplay(MOST Loyalty Points EARNED HERE)
As you play the game, you will sets of 10 Loyalty Points. This is all dependent on the game you're playing, the amount you're betting, and your current level. I will provide my optimal strategy to get over 50,000 Loyalty Points in under a month.
MYVEGAS OPTIMAL STRATEGY
The whole point of this game is to gain Loyalty Points to redeem free stuff, and who doesn't like free stuff. Most of these points are achieved through general betting and leveling up. Although there probably isn't an optimal strategy for this game, my method lowers the risk of losing your entire chip stack, and gaining the maximum Loyalty Points attainable. As mentioned above, playing conservatively using this strategy, I'm currently at a little under 600,000 chips, and over 53,000 Loyalty Points. This has all been done in under a month, and I know of many others who have used the same strategy as effectively as me. Keep in mind the guide is a work in progress and changes as the game changes, so please let me know if there's incorrect information on here.
The most important aspect of the game is to generate chips. If you haven't already, please read the GETTING MORE CHIPS section of this guide.
Also, I recommend playing this game on the Firefox browser. It just seems to give me the least amount of problems.
BEFORE YOU START
After downloading the game, proceed through these steps first before you begin playing the game:
Go to the myVEGAS app page, like it, and then click on all the free chips they have on their wall. Only the recent posts will be available, but it's enough to start.
On the myVEGAS Gifts, Guides & Giveaways Page, add your name to the add me thread, and add the other members on there as well. Please refrain from adding too many people at once, or you may be put in Facebook Jail. About 10-20 to start should be okay as long as you only add people on the list. Others will add you as well as long as you put your name down on the list.
Install Game Feeds and if you already have some friends, you can start collecting free chips using the method stated above. I usually open a new tab for this and let it run in the background.
On the myVEGAS Gifts, Guides & Giveaways Page, there is a Free Chips tab. Like the page, and you'll have access to over 50,000 more chips.
If you did this properly, you should have at least few thousand chips, if not tens of thousands, to play with before your first spin. Our goal here is to get the maximum amount of Loyalty Points with the smallest bet possible. We provide the optimal bets with the optimal games, so please try not to deviate from the games or bets described. What I mean by optimal bets is the least amount of chips utilized to gain Loyalty Points. For example, at level 5, if you bet 60 chips, it takes 8 spins to gain 10 LP. If you bet 300 chips, it takes 6 spins to gain 10 LP. The rest is just basic math, 8 x 60 = 480 chips run through for 10 LP, where as 300 x 6 = 1800 chips run through for the 10 LP. Remember this game mimics a real casino game. In the long run, you're guaranteed to lose, so the more chips you run through, in the long term, the more chips you lose, so it's beneficial to run through less chips.
CHIP GAINING PHASE
From levels 1 to 57, as long as you follow the steps below, your daily overall chip stack should be positive. I built about 800,000 chips before I hit level 58 this way.
Levels 1 - 14
Events
Hotels: Monte Carlo, Circus Circus, New York New York, Mirage
Bets Per Line: 5, 10, 20
Auto Spins: 10
Games: Jules Verne, Lucky Birds, Bet The Farm, Blackjack, Studio City, New York New York
The first game you'll play is Excalibur. Game is pretty simple, just read the tutorials as they come out and keep betting. You start out betting at 60 chips/spin. Only bet 60 chips/spin unless the game forces you to bet more, and even then, remember to change it back down to 60 chips/spin afterward. The whole point of this is to maximize Loyalty Points. Every 8 spins = 10 LP, which accumulate pretty quickly. When you hit a bonus, or a big jackpot, level up, or build a hotel, a pop up appears where you can share the event with your myVEGAS friends. Please share these when they pop up, your myVEGAS friends depend on them for extra chips.
As you continue leveling, you'll achieve all the events specified above. You can play around with different games and bets, but if you want to play optimally, ignore all the other games, and the increasing bets per line, and keep betting 60 chips/spin in the Excalibur game.
Please try to refrain from playing Blackjack. The odds do not match up with real casino games. The house edge is a lot higher than normal, and in the long run, you will end up losing a lot of chips.
One last thing you should keep in mind is that when you first start the game, or when you reload the game, your default bet is based on your chip stack, so the higher your chip stack, the higher the default bet is. Pay attention to this, or you may quickly waste all your chips auto spinning on 25,000 chip/spin bets.
Levels 15 - 57
Events
Hotels: Excalibur, Bellagio, Luxor, Aria
Bets Per Line: 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000
Auto Spins: 25, 50, 100
Okay, at level 15, we now switch games from Excalibur to Lucky Birds. Lucky birds is the only game at these levels where you can bet 100 chips/spin to get the 10 LP with only 9 spins. This is the optimal spin, and regardless of how bored you get, you will collect a lot of Loyalty Points and gain an even larger chip stack. Just keep betting 100 chips/spin until you get to level 58.
I play Lucky Birds not only because of the optimal chip bet, but also because it's the simplest and most efficient game. What I mean is that I can auto spin the game in the background most of the time and check on it every now and then, and all I'd need to do would be to enable more auto spins or pick some eggs. Just play this game and compare it with the other ones and you'll understand what I mean.
Again, if you want to focus on gaining chips and Loyalty Points, stay on Lucky Birds at 100 bet chips/spin and remember to use all the different methods to collect your daily chips.
CHIP LOSING PHASE
Myvegas Blackjack Chips
From level 58 onwards, if you play steadily, you will end up losing chips every day until you run out. This is because at level 58, you can no longer bet 100 chips/spin. Instead of only 9 spins for 10 LP, it now takes over 40 spins and that's just much too time consuming.
Levels 58 - 173
Events
Hotels: Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand
Bets Per Line: 2000, 5000
Auto Spins: 200
Okay, so from level 58 onwards, you again stay on Lucky Birds due to the optimal betting and efficiency of the game. Theoretically, the optimal bet is now to bet 200 chips/spin, however, it would take 22 spins for 10 LP. Again, like the 100 chips/spin, this is much too time consuming. Instead, you can bet 1000 chips/spin, and would take 6 spins for the same 10 LP.
You will notice a decreased time in achieving both levels and Loyalty Points, but because of the increased bet, you now run through significantly more chips than at levels 1 to 57. If you play steadily, this will cause your chip stack to decrease steadily as well. Eventually, you will hit 0 chips. When this happens, I like to save up a few hundred thousand chips before I start playing again so that you can play through the bad runs.
Levels 173 - ???
As of this moment, you have to run through 100,000,000 worth of chips to hit level 174. This is basically impossible, unless you purchase unlimited amounts of chips. If and when this changes, I will update the guide as necessary.
CONCLUSION:
So this is my myVEGAS game strategy guide. It may sound a little boring and tedious, but if you're addicted to Las Vegas, it's actually pretty fun. I deviate from my plan now and then but it never takes me long to go back to the optimal strategy. Most of the time it's because I have no more chips. I can tell you that by just playing steadily over the months, me and my wife have earned over 350,000 loyalty points, which roughly translate to $700 or more in comps. However, please remember this is just a game, so don't get too addicted, and remember to go out and have some fun! Also, remember to join myVEGAS Gifts, Guides & Giveaways to win some prizes and meet some friends!
In this game, I mostly played the Single Deck, 3/2 Blackjack payout, DAS, no surrender, 2 splits max, dealer checks for blackjack, shuffles after every game (continuous shuffler). They also have 6 deck and free bet blackjack with the same rules as above. I have not purchased any chips, I earned chips by collecting 3200 chips every 4 hours and the playing spin wheel for chips which has a 3x multiplier for consecutive play. This method of acquiring chips was patched out with ShaqJack, it is now significantly harder to acquire chips through bonus rounds.
You can earn loyalty points which you can redeem on MGM properties and MGM partners. The only way to earn loyalty points is by completing achievements on 'my strip' or betting a enough chips. After completing the 'my strip' board, I ended with 63,000 loyalty points at level 113. To put into perspective, a buy one get one free Gelato is worth 2500 loyalty, 10 dollar freeplay is worth 10000 loyalty, crepes at the Aria is worth 10000 loyalty, and 25 dollar freeplay is worth 50000 loyalty. In order to redeem the loyalty points, you must either dine at the restaurant or stay at the hotel. In my opinion, anything above 50000 loyalty is unobtainable. Most of the freebies are not worth it since you get them already as a M-Life member.
I am confident the cards in this game are rigged. Anytime you bet big you can expect to lose or push. Anytime you have a split with a double, you can expect your hand to lose. There are a set of collectibles you can earn by playing. Once you've earned enough collectibles, you unlock the next stage which means your minimum is now higher. I have always tried to bust collectibles on purpose to keep my minimum low but they will make sure you win. I have hit 20s and received an ace, I have hit 17s and received 4 aces all the way to 21. These have happened a lot more than it should.
You would think the objective of the game is to get casual players to dabble into blackjack which then gets them to play with real money at the tables in Vegas. They have implemented a feature named 'Bold Plays' where the screen flashes and special effects go off when you do something 'bold' such as splitting 10s, doubling anything 12 or over, and doubling 7 or less. This encourages bad plays. Casual players will be more likely to do a 'bold play' in real life with real money. In my opinion, this game does not need to rig cards to get people playing in Vegas. I think the loyalty bonuses and the Bold Play meter is enough so why rig the cards? Blackjack continuous shuffler has a house advantage and is uncountable so players will lose chips over time.
I am so offended by the fact that the cards are rigged and that's why I was so driven to beat this game without spending any real money. I wanted to earn as much loyalty points as possible and then redeem the most expensive thing I could. If you are playing this game, just earn enough loyalty to buy a Gelato or a crepe then stop. As I said above, earning more than 50,000 loyalty points is unrealistic and it will cost you more time than the money to pay for the real thing. If you decide to continue playing, my best advice to you is BUY THE INSURANCE!!! The dealer definitely has Blackjack.

I have been playing myVegas Blackjack since it was released...
I am confident the cards in this game are rigged...
Hi Kutsu, and welcome to the forums. While I'm not saying you're correct or not, you certainly aren't the first person of accusing an online game of being rigged. I'm not 100% familiar with myVegas, other than it's a facebook game and I think you can earn TR points through it. Can you actually bet real money? Even so, let me not get distracted from my point... If you're going to accuse any site/game/etc of cheating, you must have substantial (and detailed) information to support your claim. How many hands have you played? Have you been flat betting the entire time (thus how much have you wagered)? From there you can derive the house edge and how much theoretically you should have loss and compared it to your actual results. How many times has the dealer blackjacked in these hands? These are all metrics that need recorded EVERY hand.
Anyone in the world could come in here and say 'omg guys, I've been playing this game for EVER and I never win!' Then we come to find out they played it a lot, last week. You need to have hundreds of thousands of recorded hands. Video evidence is by far the best because it shows you aren't skewing the data personally. When you have hundreds of thousands of hands/spins MINIMUM then you can start to tell if a game is 'cheating' or not because there is an Expected Value and Standard Deviations for the mathematics of the game. At that point you have enough data to analyze where your results fall and conclude that if they're outside of the realm of possible, thus a site is cheating.
Still, I want to thank you for your feedback, and welcome you to the forums. I just hope if you claim any online site/game/etc is cheating that you'll understand most of the math minds on this forum want a little more than your word.
I have been playing myVegas Blackjack since it was released. I have just recently finished grinding out all the gold achievements on the 'my strip' board. My strip currently ends at Luxor and they have not added more since the past two updates. There are 3 more stages to go, Monte Carlo, Mandalay Bay, and Bellagio before you 'beat the game'. Instead of adding these stages, the last two content patches added a slot machine into a Blackjack game and added ShaqJack (Burn 20 Blackjack).
In this game, I mostly played the Single Deck, 3/2 Blackjack payout, DAS, no surrender, 2 splits max, dealer checks for blackjack, shuffles after every game (continuous shuffler). They also have 6 deck and free bet blackjack with the same rules as above. I have not purchased any chips, I earned chips by collecting 3200 chips every 4 hours and the playing spin wheel for chips which has a 3x multiplier for consecutive play.

I assume you are playing the app version rather than the Facebook one.
Myvegas Blackjack Tips
Questions for you: what is the chips per XP rate, and what (if anything) is the XP cap per deal?On the Facebook version, you get 1 XP for every 2 chips bet, but there is a maximum XP per deal (not per hand, as if you play multiple hands, the cap applies to all of the hands put together), although you can gain XP on splits and doubles even if your bets are at the cap. The last time I checked, about 6 months ago, the cap on the Facebook app was 60K XPs per deal.
Myvegas Blackjack Strategy
she claims accounts that have an overabundance of saved chips (3 to 7 million) will get depleted down to a few hundred thousand chips very quickly while playing a quest(whatever that means) down to 100k to 200k betting around 3k a spin.
Betting the same amount on accounts that have significantly less chips (100k or so) she will finish the quest down a little or up a little.
