This is copied from the challenged at badge central of that particular challenge and it doesn't say anything about jp spins.

Grand Prix Badge:
Win 600 or more tokens 10 times this week


I agree that the description is very misleading.  But trust me, it's only the tokens you win after winning the game that count.  The jackpot spin, and the 100 point bonus in 9 lap rounds.

Yes, horrible memories!  Just sit there and imagine the Green back frogs as they are hopping around the racetrack and it becomes more tolerable.

I used to love Frogger! ???

hi all, as we're on the subject of this particular challenge, I'm gonna try it for my personal challenge next week, when i have played dice derby in the past, i used to come in 1st alot, but i am in desperate need of a real challenge, and this one seems to be a really hard one to get. I welcome it as a change of pace, they really need to make more challenges harder, this week's ones were too easy in my opinion ;) Wish me luck all!! ;D

I've watched those cars go round and round for two days now and those tokens won plus the jp spins had to add up to 600 still very very hard to do.  The only ones that worked were the ones over 500, and I guarantee I will only win this one ONCE.  >:D

That is a hard badge to get, but it's doable.  I've gotten it for several friends. 

Your score in the game does not matter, it's only the jackpot spin that counts.  You have to get 600 tokens in the jackpot spin to get credit.  I played 9-lap games because you get better jackpots.  Plus in the 9-lap games you get 100 bonus tokens, so you only really have to get a spin of 500 tokens in order to get credit.

Best thing to do is really know how to play the game so that you always always always come in first place.

OH NO......not the dreaded dice derby game again.  When do you think Pogo will get rid of that awful game and stop making it so hard to win the 600 + tokens badge.....and yes you have to win the Jackpot spin of 600 or more.  It brings back terrible memories for me, right Barb......LOL.  Good Luck to you all who are doing that badge.

I notice it was the number of tokens had to add up to 600 if that make since.  If the jp spin was 300 or 400 I didn't get credit, but I did with 500 or more.

Okay I tried this badge numerous times and I finally got it today.  I ran the auto for nearly two day with 9 lap races.  You have to come in first place with a jp spin of 500 tokens or more.

BigByrd  And yes I am glad it is over
