Guide Notes
This guide is listed in order of importance based on my biased point of view. These are some of the steps I've taken and are by no means meant to be anything more than "how can I earn money fast". Each step requires some amount of activity and work. Remember with all of the steps recommended: every post earns a predefined amount of Pokedollars!
Step One: Top Up Your Coin Case
Once you've finished setting up your first character, pop by our Coin Exchange and asked to be topped up to 50 coins for free. This can be done anytime you fall below 40 coins, so keep this in mind. There are lots of lots of cool Pokemon and items for sell in at the Prize Counter!
Step Two: Toss A Coin in the Fountain
Once a week you can toss one of your coins into our Fountain at the Casino. This gives each member a chance to find Recruit Tickets (RT) which are used to buy both Pokemon and unique items within our Universal Rewards thread. The items found in the Casino and rates can change, but generally give around a 50% odds chance to find one RT.
Step Three: Become OOC Famous
The next step is a step in building your money empire. This step is crucial if you find building money to be rather difficult. Stop by our Forum Games and start playing with others in the closest thing we have to a 'spam bin' board. As long as you're following the rules of the usually silly and simple games (and not double posting) it's all fair game! This moves considerably faster than most of our other Out Of Character areas and is usually the easiest to start in when you're new.
Step Four: Start Your Hi-Lo Thread
Hi-Lo Game is our lowest risk game in the Casino and is the first one I recommend setting up. My personal recommendation is to stay in this game until you have closer to around 250 coins in your account. That's the cost of 6 rounds of Roulette, which is more of a medium-to-high risk (depending on how you play it) game.
Step Five: Get Really Nosy
Now it's time to get to know the rest of the site! Set up a Chatter for your character and keep their social life active. Give your feedback in our Member Suggestions and help build other aspects of the site, or improve the way you enjoy roleplaying! Get to know your fellow members better in our General Chat and talk about anything going on in your life (and other hobbies you enjoy). Show off your artistic side (written or visual) in our Rainbow Zulu, even if it's unrelated to your Journey or Pokemon in general!
Step Six: Enter in Site Events
There are many monthly events you can enter for a chance to win! Buena's Password is a free monthly event that rewards members with correct guesses one RT. Gogoat Race is a quarterly event with items, RT, and Pokemon as possible prizes. Bug Catching Contests happen in Summer and Autumn with items and RT as prizes. Radio Tower Lottery is a monthly event that costs $500 per ticket to enter and can rewards items, Pokemon, money, and even RT based on where you place.
Step Seven: It's Time For Roulette
Once you've managed to get at least 250 coins floating in your Coin Case, I'd recommend trying out the Roulette Game. I would personally recommend choosing Color (x2) or Corner (x3) to start for better rewards. Once you've really gotten the hang of it consider being riskier and guessing Pokemon (x4) or 2 Panels (x5). I start every game with the riskiest bet with Single Panel (x10) but always strive to do this with at least 600-1000 coins in my case.
Step Nine: Own Your Own Home
Once you've managed to save up $22,000 Pokedollars you should really consider sinking your money into an Estate! They allow you to have your own Treasure Hunts where you can dig once a week to find items and Recruit Tickets (RT). While most may strive to get their first badge for a Nursery - which is a continual money sink - Estates are typically a one-time money sink for greater rewards (unless you're paying for more berry plots, for example).
Optional: Set up Shop
Consider setting up your own Trainer Shop. You might find many customers vying to buy the Pokemon and items you don't want. I recommend consulting the Seller's Guide, Exclusive Differences, and relevant (Bulbapedia) off-site guides to determine a good price to charge (so you're not underselling yourself). If you have unique skills such as artwork or coding, you can also offer them within your Trainer Shop.
Optional: Slots
Honestly, the Casino Slot Machine will rarely give you a good return on investment. I recommend that you have a minimum of 1000 coins in your case before playing. However, it has the highest rewards out of all the Casino games and could easily net you upwards 1000 coins or more if you're really lucky. Most of us just lose a couple 100+ coins a week instead. Don't forget to report wins and losses in Coin Exchange!
