I play daily at www.pogo.com and I still love it! They have so many new games to play as well as all the old games. The site is colorful and the games are too. The help section for each game is precise and easy to follow.
I have been a member of Club Pogo for sometime now and I really like the features that offers me. The games are quicker and the 'spinner' is really cool! Should I win, the amount won will be double as a member of Club Pogo.
Over all, it is the place for me and you will find me there daily, most of the day or someone in the family!
Original Review
I love to play game! I think that a lot of us do. And that is a normal part of our lives. There are a lot of great places on the Internet where you can go and play games. One of those places in my opinion is www.pogo.com. I really find this site has lots of fun.
Pogo
When you first come on to the site you will find a very colorful page full of all the games available. You will need to register which is simple to do. And you can then start to have some fun!
You will find games like: Word Whomp™, Poppit™, Dominoes, Turbo 21™, Spades, Backgammon, Checkers, Chess, and various others. All are very fun to play.
The site is set up to be easy to get around. There are “Titled” areas that have games underneath them. For instance: Real Big Money, you will find games called “Bank Buster Lotto™. Or Sport Games, you will find games called “EA Sports™ Tiviatron™, Hit for the Cycle (new game), Pebble Beach® Golf. There is money to be won at each! Now mind you I haven’t won any money yet but I will!
You will also find “Real Casino Games” such as Ali Baba Slots™. Big Shot Roulette™, Buckaroo Blackjack™. Double Deuce Poker, Jokers Wild Poker, Keno, Sci-Fi Slots, Showbiz Slots, Turbo 21™ and Video Poker. All of these have money to win as well.
The games all load easily and they are not downloaded onto your computer. They each will give you the opportunity to find out how to play or you can just start playing. Most of the games are pretty self-explanatory and sometimes you will need to read all about it. Now I have to say there that sometimes the games may take a bit to load, but out of all honesty it depends on what I am doing at the time. If I happen to get up and go get something to drink or whatever, then the game will load a lot quicker.
You can also win tokens when you win in a game and those tokens be used to enter various cash drawings that are all the time going on at Pogo. A lot of times you will find that people have not cashed in their tokens, I think they want to see just how many they can get or something. I know that I what I do.
There is also a favorite place on the homepage after I sign in that will have listed all the games that I have gone to. At least the last five. This is helpful because I then don’t have to look for the game or games I want to go and play.
I can always see just how many tokens that I have accumulated over on the left hand side of any given screen. You can also choose to chat if you would like while you are playing your game.
Other Games
There are other games at Pogo that you can go and play such as: Under “Pogo Presents” you can play Treasure Trivia™ with over 10,000 questions. And of course all new at Pogo is Slingo™ a very favorite game. However at this time there is not money to win while playing Slingo™.
You can also play word games such as Crossword, Tumble Bees (new game, formally Jumble Bee's), Word Search, and my most favorite Word Whomp™. There are game show games like Primetime Pitch™, and Word Riot. You can even play Bingo! At Jackpot Bingo you can win cash. And various other games. Check them all out and have lots of fun doing so.
You can also see “The Spotlight” when you are on the homepage of Pogo. And what that is the game highlight of the day or week or month. You can also go to the “Funny Pages” where you can read comics, jokes your horoscope and more.
Other Things You Can Do
You can always go to “My Account”, “My Friends”, and “Prizes” Top Games and “Help” which you will find links for across the top of the homepage. These are helpful places to go.
You will also find “Daily Tarot” on the left hand side where you can get your fortune told. Of course this is strictly for play and should not be taken seriously.

How I Feel
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I really do. I find all the games, well for the most part, to be fun to play. Some of them I do not care for. But some of them I do. Like I stated earlier, there is no downloads to my computer and the best part, it’s all free!
There are not many sites that you can go to and try to win money for free!
I let my children play games on this site as well. in fact, my son who is 7 helps me play Word Whomp™. This game is my most favorite. You have 6 scramble letters come up on the screen and you try to spell words from them. You words must be at least 3 letters. And you can shuffle the letters as needed and try to find more. You have 2 minutes to find as many words that are in the Whomp dictionary. It’s really fun and it helps to teach my son to spell. (Not to mention helps me as well.)
So if you are bored and want to play a game or two! Go on over to www.pogo.com and have a blast.
I hope that this has helped in some kind of way.
God Bless!
