It's not a bug.  I'll quote from the author's reply:

"It is Not a Bug, it is the maximum value a Long Integer can store, as the
games were written using Qbasic and
also aimed at the BBS market, it was never expected that the max value of
the Long int would ever be reached
or exceeded..."

I must be one heckaofa player bucause I've busted mega slots usually in 2
days and zombie in about 5.  Looks like 8 way is the hardest game to beat.
