By The Bookie Secret District Guide

The By The Bookie Secret District Has Already Thrown A Few Curve Balls. What I Mean Is That There Are A Few Different Banners Floating Around That Have Introduced The District. The Banner Above Is Appearing In The Game Modules And The Banner Below Has Been Shown Here On Mafia Spirit (By The Bookie Preview) And You Can Also See It On The Official Mafia Wars Blog. And There Are More Intriguing Twists.

The By The Bookie Secret District Is Located In Brazil And Can Be Accessed From The Travel Bar Or By Going To The Jobs Tab In Brazil And Clicking On The Additional District Button.

 

Once You’ve Made Your Way Into The ‘By The Bookie’ Secret District You Will See These Images (They Will Change As You Progress Through The Levels Of the District)

You Will Also See The List Of Jobs;

You May Notice The Image of The Adding Machine (Called Odds In Favor) Next To Certain Jobs. These Will Be Consumed In 3 Jobs And You Can Collect These From The ‘Rough Up Silva So He Accepts Your Terms’ Job. These Will Also Be Needed For One Of The Twists That I Mentioned Earlier And I Will Explain Later.

 

You Can Also Acquire These ‘Odds In Favor’ From The Free Gifts Page By Sending Them To Your Friends Or Them Sending Them To You.

When Your Friends Accept The ‘Odds In Favor’ You Sent You Will Have Some Returned To You That You Can Now Collect From Your ZMC (Zynga Message Center).

If You Want To Know How Many ‘Odds In Favor’ You Need To Do The Jobs That Consume Them Then Follow The Chart Below;

JOBS	w/o Strategist	# Needed	with Strategist	# Needed
Establish Contact With Bookies	7%	15	14%	8
Bet That Silva Will Throw The Final	9%	12	18%	6
Collect From The Bookies	4%	25	8%	13
Total Needed For Bronze Level -->		52		27
Total Needed For All 4 Levels (assuming the % remains the same)		208		108

 

At The Top Of The Secret District Job Page There Is A Yellow Arrow That, When Clicked, It Expands Your Available Loot. This Area Allows You To Keep Track Of How Many ‘Odds In Favor’ You Have Acquired As Well As Your ‘Double Loot’ Boosts And Your 3 Collectable Loot items.

For This Secret District The 3 Collectable Loot Items Are;

Slow Mo	Fake ID	Blue Coral Snake
63 104	106 64	66 108

You Want To Collect;

Collect	Reward
10	5 Attack

As You Do Jobs You May Get A Rainforester To Drop On Occasion.

You Will Also Want To Acquire As Many ‘Double Loot’ Boosts As You Can In Order To Make The Above Items Accrue Faster. To Acquire These ‘Double Loot’ Boosts You Simply Click The Ask Button Located On The Available Loot Drop Down Box And Share A Request To Your Wall.

You Also Acquire Them By Clicking On Your Friends Posts On Your Wall. Just Look For The 2X Loot Image;

As You Do The Jobs You Will Randomly Have These Items Drop;

You May Notice That Additional Cash Is Now Associated With The Collectable Items When They Drop. You May Also Notice That The Knife Slash Is Also Dropping While Doing Jobs. These Are Part Of The Twists That I Mentioned Earlier. I’ll Discuss The Knife Slash Later.

 

But First, Let Me Introduce The Bandit.

If You Read The Description Above It Pretty Much Says It All. These Bandits Appear Randomly While Doing Jobs In ‘By The Bookie’ Secret District.

When The Bandits Appear You Have A Time Limit To Eliminate Them Within.

To Eliminate These Bandits You Simply Click The Red Eliminate Button And You Can Move On.

However, You Do Need Crew Members In Your Queue In Order To Eliminate The Bandits. These Crew Members Are Called Snipers, When Used.

 

I Would Also Like To Note That When They Appear They Seem To Be Associated With The Collectable Loot Items. This Could Slow Down Your Acquisition Of These Collectable Items If You Run Out Of Crew Members In Your Queue.

Once You Click The Eliminate Button One Crew Member (If Available) Is Automatically Used And Deducted From You Crew Queue.

 

Now, About Those Knife Slashes That You May Have Seen Drop While Doing Jobs. These Will Be Needed (possibly) To Beat The Boss That Needs To Be Beaten Before You Complete Each Level Of The District.

 

As You Can See Below I Have Every Job Completed But I Could Not Move To Silver Level Yet.

I Need To Fight And Defeat Carlo The Coach First.

Carlo The Coach Is Waiting For You At The Bottom Of The Jobs List.

In Older Boss Fashion You Need To Collect Several Items That Will Be Used In Combos To Beat Carlo. These Items Are;

Knife Slash	Crack Of The Bat	Knuckle Punch	Odds In Favor

As You Can See We Need The ‘Odds In Favor’ For The Boss Fight Combos In Addition To Doing Jobs Within The Secret District.

We Were Given The First Combo. The Other Combos Are Depicted Below;

The Chart Below Shows The Order In Which To Use The Items To Activate The Combos;

	1st	2nd	3rd	4th
Green Combo	Knuckle Punch	Odds In Favor	Odds In Favor	Crack Of The Bat
Gold Combo	Knife Slash	Knuckle Punch	Odds In Favor	Crack Of The Bat
Red Combo	Odds In Favor	Knife Slash	Odds In Favor	Knuckle Punch

As You Use The Combos You Do More Damage To The Boss Carlo The Coach.

Once You Defeat Carlo The Coach And Have Completed All The Jobs You Will Be Congratulated And You Can Share Your Success.

You Will Be Rewarded With 2 Rewards.

 

For Beating Carlo The Coach You Will Be Rewarded Metal Tipped Studs.

108 159	118 169	128 189	138 209
