New paragon error

I was playing crystal maze on one earlier and lost a game pushing for the £10 with 6 crystals. Next game i managed a mere 3 crystals and went for the £5 prize, upon selecting the play for £5 option the game crashed, not a creditboard error but a dialogue box centre screen saying something about crystal maze. It was gone before I had a chance to read it and back to main menu it went.

Latest program. Hopefully it was a one off.

if it was not malicious why dont they do something about fixing the various errors on their units.theyve had long enough.

I guess the big question is why do errors occur so often on quiz machines compared to fruit machines - and the obvious answer is that windows is shit...

or something like that

Waiting to hear about the massive win I (by myself, solely, alone and with no one else doing all the hard work) was gipped out of tonight with merely the consolation of leaving my phone number at the bar.

(NB the "big" win that bumped up the bank was on John Parrot- that should tell you how much contribution my partner in crime put in)

WHS. And to actually print on the screen that complete avoidance of any responsibility....

I had one freeze on me the other day and a message like "dongle error - please contact operator" appeared on the screen. It kept my bank, of course.

I don't see why the player should lose out just because the operator hasn't bothered to buy enough credits.

Occupational hazards.

Occupational benefits are collecting £3 and machine paying £25.

A benefit I've only had once or twice - for some odd reason, the hazards seem to occur much more regularly.

I remember a time when that happened with some regularity on ItBoxes.

Match of the day road to glory often doubles your prize when you don't deserve it.

Is that only on a £1 win. Think it happens most times...

Same, but it was on Wanktec so hardly a surprise.
