Looks like the invisible man was reading this and renamed himself ... invisible man. Quite clever I thought.

Can't help you with the cat
 
You could provide a mulligan option. Usable once a day for any and all problems like my cat. Hey, some casinos will do this if you can demonstrate it was a sticky key or some other problem with the machine.

Just had another problem where IE7 went belly up. It indicated the problem was with "flash".

Just had IE7 go belly up again this AM. Once again it was flash.
Also, I'd like to re-iterate a couple of suggestions made last month. I'd like to see some stats. A good place would be under the current screen. There's just enough room to throw in some information and get everything on one screen. Here's some of the info that might be interesting.
 
- Number of dealt hands and total hands played.
- Accuracy (% of hands played perfect and impact on return)
- Number of "jackpots", eg. RFs, bonus quads, deuces when wild, etc.
 
Maybe you are planning these for another release ... I hope so.

Me too.  "Hope So" I mean.  If we are going to invest time in this sort of entertainment on the Games here on the site, there should be a way to indicate whether the player is playing correctly or not.  Obviously, the credit balance isn't empirical in evidence that play is accurate.

Don't forget about showing the number of mulligans taken.
 
I'd like to see year-to-date scores matching those shown for daily/weekly/monthly play.  Don't know where there's room to show them, but it would be nice.  I'm a long term guy (and a masochist to boot).
 
Here's another suggestion - how about adding a computerized player to the player's list, playing a perfect "game" (no misplays).  It could put some time in on each machine type every day. 
 
Question of the day - "Has anyone seen the Invisible Man?"

I agree with you and shadowman on that.  I think, though, that some players might find something like that annoying.  Some might have their own special plays -  - and such they like doing from time to time, even if they know those plays aren't the best things to do in the strict math sense.

As for the Invisible Man name, see my comments on page 1. That blank space on the "My Dashboard" page is reserved for some more detailed stats and graphs.  It has not yet been determined if these will be implemented during the beta or down the road.Thanks for the suggestions as to what stats would be useful there. I agree on many of these points and they will be passed along.

Yes, I saw that...really was funny seeing his (her? its?) score moving up and down the scores list, with no name shown.
 
WM, whaddya doin' here on a Sunday?.  Beat it!  That's an order!  Put on your Broncos shirt, hit the nearest sports bar, and down a pitcher of your favorite brew while watching the game.  That's what I'll be doing.
