Thanks for all the help I am not the only person who has seen this at this particular location. I will say in all my years of play it is the only place I have ever noticed this before. I was ask about it a while back and didn't know what to say and since that time I've saw it happen twice at this place. I don't see how it could have been a power problem. Its odd to be playing a machine and all the sudden the game goes away and the machine says its running a memory check. The other time it was on the machine right next to me and nobody was playing so I stopped playing and was wathing it run thru all this data almost like it was being remotely checked by someone. Possibly an ugly blonde b*%@#ch!

Is it an old clunker?  Maybe its parts are just wearing out and that's causing more faults.
 
One casino here removed some older VP machines about two months ago but hasn't replaced them.  These were true-blue old clunkers that had been there since I've been playing (15 years)  Several banks with 10-12 DB/DDB/DW machines now have 4-5 left, with empty floor space on either side.  I've thought that strange since unoccupied space isn't bringing in revenue.  Maybe the casino has ordered new machines and just hasn't got them yet.  I'd imagine that those older ones were getting pretty expensive to maintain.

No, the machines in this particular bank are pretty new.
