 Well not so much a bug, but a flaw that can be reduced if we limit some
 values in the game's configuration file. Line Number 8 is most likely set
 too high. For inter-bbs gaming I ask all systems to use the same values.
 We use here. (5000)

 Just like in real life, some slot machines are easier to play then others.
 8 way is more for the player that wants a challenge. Lose all your money,
 you have to wait until next month's reset before you can play the game
 again.
 
 This was one of the reasons Dennis added "Mugging" in the Mega Slots game
 just to mix things up. Sure there are some things I would like to have
 sysop definable. That's why he is continuing to beta test some of these
 games :=)
