New B3 Pots...

Has anyone else noticed the change in pots over the last couple of weeks? My local has just had 3 new games installed on the 777 Cabinet, the curse of Frankenstein, the price is right and Neptunes treasure, when they were installed the pots were reset on the Mummy money and Pots of gold too.
Anyway, now all the pots are linked together, today the pots on every machine were at £122, £335 and £500, surely this means that each game has to be linked in some kind of way because if Pots of gold were to give a £500 Gold pot for example then the pots on all other machines would reset to £250 aswell!
It should also mean that we'll be seeing pots at bigger for longer, maybe

Yes it's the new update, has anyone also noticed that the pots on "pots of gold" (in bookies) start at a fresh every day instead of building up over time? Whats going on there?? Surely thats a rip off..

Unless the new program compensates for the pots being reset daily then they are stealing percentage. Like lucky 8's being reset.
And on 777 - linked pots shouldn't affect the average values. Getter fed by three machines, but also drained by three...

Hmm, yes I noticed this in Corals the other day - I was watching someone play and noticed the pots all seemed very low, so I had a look along the other 3 machines and they were all a few pence more than the reset.
Utter crap - the whole point of having the pots is surely to generate more interest and entice people into playing ...

It all adds up to another reason not to be seduced by such machines

the new update means that the pots are shared by ever game on the cabinet so whatever your planning its upping the pot, noit just that one game

Both Corals and Will Hills have had software updates recently, hence the reset pots. They do not reset every night - just usually when a new game is installed.
Funnily enough the reset screen on Cashino is a full screen payout - so the game NEVER gets played.
Clever these programmers...............
