I received gems but no bonus pony, have checked in everyday on that calendar event and sent in 2 reports about it.
Also, not sure if anyone else is experiencing this bug, but when I goto play the mini games like ball bounce, the game is taking my bits instead of playing the ad video! Twice this has happened so far, I have sent in reports about this issue as well. No bits have been returned yet. Bits are so hard to accumulate for me in this game, i dont use real cash. Who really would pay 55,000 bits to play a 60second game? I always wait for the ad video to watch so I can play.
ETA: 12-14-18 As of this morning I have received the bonus pony.
