Bug Gameplay Issues (Cannon Ball, Join the Circus)

[Zorgwon]

Shooting the Cannon Ball scores 250000 each time. After 5 hits the count finishes with 1,250,000 and I get a final score of either 3,500,000 or 4,950,000. 100% reproducible as long as I hit the flipper.

To enter the wizard mode I only have to defeat the ringmaster 2 or 3 times. Probably it's just enough to have the other 8 marvels. Available rule sheets always say that the ringmaster marvel requires 4 defeated ringmasters. The game is more enjoyable, though, with this shortcut. Scores are lower I think. (100% reproducible).

I don't think these are bugs. The cannon ball has it so that the first hit on Voltaire's luck will give you 250k, the second giving you another 500k, and so on. So hitting it only twice will give you 750k, etc.

The ringmaster marvel isn't bugged, either. Chances are, you got Spot Marvel, and it spotted that particular one.

I checked it and got the values (250000+500000+750000+1000000+1250000+1200000=4950000). It's just too much luck that I have. (that is on my Android tablet!)
On the PC (now and new) my luck has vanished a bit. I got only 1,700,000 score last time.

I never get to the Special or Battle and Razz and the extra ball are exceptions. I get the marvels really fast. Maybe these are spotted. It contradicts the rule sheets, though. Rule sheets are often pretty bad.
