Shakedowns

Perform Shakedowns at locations on the map to extort hapless vendors for Coins, as well as increase your Shakedown skill.

Shakedowns is one of the mini-games in Pocket Mobsters. Shakedowns will appear at locations on your map, indicated by a spinning Coin. Shakedowns range from Easy to Dangerous, and vary in Strength Cost as well.

To begin a Shakedown, tap a location then tap "Shakedown."

How to Shakedown a Vendor
Hold down your finger on one of the Vendors to extort coins from them.

You have a limited number of time to extort all the available coins. Your time is indicated by a bar at the top of the screen.

Beware of the Dirty Cops! They will move toward you as you try to extort the Vendors. If you're caught, you'll lose some of the Coins you've gained during the Shakedown.

If you're successful, you will gain all the coins you extorted from the vendors, plus a bonus based on your Shakedown Skill level, as well as points toward your Shakedown Skill level.

Bonus
Depending on your Shakedown Level, you can get bonus coins with each Shakedown.
