[QUOTE="EldarOfSuburbia, post: 270804, member: 4106"] The way to envisage how TPA Safe Cracker works is like this: - When you launch the table for the first time, it as if it has been just switched on with brand new factory settings and a full complement of tokens. - As long as you don't "switch off" the table, or "refill" the tokens, the more tokens you win, the more likely you are to get ones you're missing. (There's going to be a very nice, symmetrical, probability curve for this; P(duplicate) will be low at first, peak after a certain number of tokens have been won, and start to tail off again as the number of tokens in the machine dwindles.) - Quitting the table altogether counts as "switching off" the table. - Quitting a game in progress via the Pause menu also has the same effect as quitting the table; like the operator came along, power-cycled the table, and "refilled" the tokens. So, to summarize: - Never "switch off" or "power cycle" or "refill" the table by quitting to the menu, shutting down TPA, [I]or[/I] by ending a game in progress via the Pause menu. - Stay calm and keep on playing....
