We're checking on it. I've been told that the versions are supposed to be identical (the odds on the game have not changed). So, something could be off in the conversion to the new format, or something may need to be corrected on the old one (which is still up for multi-line. I'll be sure to let you know what we find out.I guess the method to determine bonuses in this game is more complicated than I thought, and we of course want to match the casino experience as closely as possible so we'll determine if anything is off and make any necessary correction.

New2vp, thanks as always for your diligence on this.There was indeed a problem with the full pool allocation in our game and it has been corrected on both versions. The game should now more accurately reflect the casino experience.Additionally, we've added TDB as an option for 10 play random rewards.

I've now played a few more than 1000 hands without seeing even one 2000-coin bonus.Based on the previous experience, the odds are about 1850 to 1 that I would have seen no 2000-coin bonuses unless there was some change.  At this point, I'm skeptical as to whether the 2000-coin bonus is currently possible with Single Line TDB.In the last 509 hands, I have seen 9 instances in which all 8 bonuses repeated what was on the previous hand; so, at least with my browser and computer, there appears to be a small glitch.  I did experience one of these when I used the "Bet Max" button.  All the others were as a result of the "Deal" button, which I select 90+% of the time.You asked me if I thought these problems were related (duplicate meter vs. no 2000-coin bonuses).  Although it is probably coincidence, I suppose it is possible that when the 2000-coin bonuses are supposed to be coming up, duplicating the previous hands meters might be happening instead.I'd be interested in what you might be able to find out.
Webman, After you announced the change, I've played 500 more hands of single-line Random Rewards TDB.  I saw no instances of repeated bonuses on consecutive hands.  You said nothing about this in your post, but it looks like your fix corrected that problem as well.New2vp, thanks as always for your diligence on this.There was indeed a problem with the full pool allocation
in our game and it has been corrected on both versions. The game should
now more accurately reflect the casino experience.You're quite welcome.  After the change, I saw three 2000-coin bonuses, one each on Quad 2s-4s with a Kicker, Quad Aces, and the Flush pay-lines.  This is in line with what I had seen on the multi-line game but I noted that you said that this has been corrected on both versions, which leads me to believe that the frequency of 2000-coin bonuses was previously incorrect on the multiline as well.  If my small sample is indicative, it looks like the latest change was closer to the previous multi-line frequency than it was to the previous TDB single line frequency.It also appeared to me that the bonuses that were not 2000-coin bonuses were the same as what I had seen on the single line TDB game before this latest change.  So, it looks like I can presume that the non-2000-coin bonuses are unchanged after this latest modification.I know I asked a lot of questions in my e-mail to you, but if you could answer any of those remaining questions or if I stated anything incorrect in this post, I would appreciate being further enlightened.Investigating this has proved to be more fun for me than the inevitable frustration of playing the latest contest, but I suppose I can get to that later in the week.
