A warning to people: I "farmed" gold until I had over a million and then stopped mining and spent more time on my town centres. Populations were not growing in certain areas and even though I kept adding lots of buildings population eventually stagnated at 2250. The missing component was to mine gold, which attracts way more people. Don't waste your time like I did - keep mining! :)
I'm at the stadium and about to jump in bed with my wife, the black girl from the beginning and Barry. I think I'll give this one 10 hours. Zombie pimp - high five! P.S. should probably take my radiation mask off for this one.
I was going to comment the following: "The best game by far is tossing a coin. I played all the other games but many of them have unsure odds. This one is 50%/50%. Use the following system: Bet under 10% of your wealth on either heads or tails. Now always play the same value (e.g. heads). If you win, bet the same amount again on the same value. If you lose, double your bet and play again. E.g. I was betting 2,000 on heads and ended up with 50,000 from less than the starting money." Unfortunately I got wiped out by 5 tails in a row :P The lesson is to bet less starting money (I had upped it to 4k). I'm going to play again and try to get to room 4!
