Go ahead and start up a game of slot machine. It doesn't matter if you have beaten it or not. Why slot machine?

1. It's easy
2. We can control exactly when it ends by picking up the 2000th sun
3. It has lawnmowers which will give us an addition $250 every cycle
4. There's a slim chance you get a jackpot, which can be used to farm HUGE money. Not at all required for this guide though.

Now just play through the game as you normally would, up until you get to around 1900+ sun, but make sure to not get 2000 as that will end the minigame. Make sure to have some sunflowers so you always have enough sun on the ground to quickly end the game, and hover around 1900.

Remember it costs 25 sun to spin the slot machine!
Also, try not to lose any lawnmowers. You'll earn money faster if you have all 5 at the end of the guide.

Now just keep stalling, constantly spinning the slot machine, until you get a diamond drop. Both the slot machine or the zombies have a chance to drop one. Once a diamond falls onto the field, DO NOT PICK UP THE DIAMOND, and DO NOT PICK UP 2000 SUN. Proceed to the next step.

Tip: if you would prefer to farm chocolate or zen garden plants, you can wait for one of those to drop instead of a diamond. Just wait for the drop you want, and follow the rest of this guide.

With the diamond and some sun sitting on the ground, pause the game and quit to the menu. Your game will be saved, and the diamond will not disappear.

Go back to the minigames page, pick slot machine, and you should be prompted with the option to continue your saved game. Click CONTINUE. DO NOT CLICK NEW GAME.


Now we're cooking. There's a diamond sitting on the ground, and enough sun to quickly end the game with. That's exactly what we want.

Go ahead and scoop up the diamond and sun on the ground. Once you get 2000 sun, the game will end, and the bag or money will drop. Grab the bag to complete the process. You will get $1000 from the diamond, $250 from the bag of money, and you'll get $250 for having all 5 lawnmowers.

After getting the bag, you'll be sent back to the minigame screen. Pick Slot Machine again, and you'll notice your saved game is still there, so you can pick up the diamond and bag again and again. Just repeat steps 5 and 6 to get $1500 every few seconds. Enjoy!
