Treat Machine Versus Treat Calendar, Which is Best

Speak of the devil, i just won the jackpot on the treat machine. They couldn't make it any more obvious this is a rigid event with a predetermined time you can win it.

Pathetic.

Well that was unexpected received my second jackpot from the Daily Treat Machine on Sunday 11th Feb. As with most of the game's features King has effectively reduced the reward by introducing the timed boosters.

Two jackpots over two years and seven months is just not the right balance.

I didn't know there even was a jackpot in the daily treat machine! I only ever get one of the prizes.

WOW!!! 👏 Much congratulations @Alienscar I've never gotten a jackpot on treat machine. Lately, all I've received is timed boosters (which I could care less about) or the stupid, worthless Coconut Wheel! LOL

So, many, many congrats to you,! 😺🎉👍

My Daily Treat Machine is now a total waste of time. At least 60% of the time I get "timed" boosters. A great reward when you are at the top levels and waiting for the week's new releases @QueenB.

@Alienscar This is another example of King's now obsession with extracting as much money as possible out of the players. I feel for talented designers who have been instructed that everything must be geared to making money, and to forget their creativity and player enjoyment.

Yes @Peter_Tornaros timed rewards aren't for everyone. Even some of the players that aren't at the end of the map don't like timed boosters. Personally as I only play when I want to and when I have the time I don't mind 'some' timed boosters. Obviously you don't have the luxury of choosing when to play if you always complete the weekly level release before the newest levels are released. I would say the only timed boosters I don't like are the five and ten minute ones. Lately with all of the pop-ups and crashing issues that plaque Candy Crush any timed booster less than 15 minutes is good for just one level, two if you are lucky.

Here is my week's worth of Treat Machine boosters including one extra from an advert.
