[QUOTE="FurVid, post: 39779, member: 19"] Right - I recently verified by collecting the special and closely watching my score before and after. I did this on ball 4, and got both the points and the multiplier (I don't think you get anything for the eight ball - not sure if you're supposed to). In PHOF (and presumably in the original physical machine), it was hard to miss. The game didn't say "Double Super Jackpot, ha ha ha ha" but did the next best thing by ringing lots of bells and taking so long to rack up the points that you knew you just did something special. It's too quick in TPA, since they're not trying to simulate an analog counter, just showing a digital counter with a font made to look like it's old. The tell is in the way the numbers roll in. If you have 89000 and score 4000 points you should see this: 89000 90000 91000 92000 93000 instead you see this: 89000 99000 90000 91000 92000 93000 [/QUOTE]
