Embargo Net

Share:

Remember the Embargo Net that we got for completing the Cuba In Crisis Mission? With so many Missions and other events being thrown at us non-stop, I almost did.
Many players have asked me if the Embargo Net works and I finally got a chance to check it out. We were told by Customer Support, but not in game that the Embargo Net "will result in n additional 10% Cash in ". This was posted last month and by now we all should know the top secret location is Brazil. 
To determine if this 10% Cash increase bonus works, I took two accounts that are the same class (Mogul) and have the same Top Mafia member in the Bagman position.
The only difference is that Account A never got the Embargo Net and Account B did.
Here are the listed job pay outs for the jobs in the first District of Brazil and you can see that the account with the Embargo Net gets more cash per job.
Job Costs: Account A
No Embargo Net
Job Cost Account B
Embargo Net
The listed job payouts aren't the exact payouts as you can see in the first job.  I used the actual payout numbers in the calculation to see how much of an increase there is in Account B. By taking the difference in payouts (2,029-1,845=184) and dividing by the number without the bonus (184/1,845 = 0.0997) and multiplying it by 100 to get it in a percentage, you get a 9.97% increase in job payouts. Not quite 10% but close enough to say the bonus works.
Thanks to Mike Nestor and Eike Meier for helping me with this post.

    still, a pretty useless bonus considering Brazil cash is pretty worthless (although I am surprised that it works, considering its Zynga)

    I have to wonder myself. I have the Embargo Net and Ruby mastery and also get only 1.45K--Fearless with a 15% Bagman. I don't think Mogul characters get a 30% greater payout--do they??

    @Anonymous, the 2 accounts used were mogul, i would say that's where the rest of the "modifying bonus" comes in.

    Zynga fails too much. We demand what was promised!
