[QUOTE="brakel, post: 63516, member: 416"] Just to add to what shutyertrap is saying... When you start any particular table you start at the same known state. Think of that as a room with many doors. Each door represents an event that is an event that happens in the ROM emulation. That might be hitting a rollover switch, a target, a ramp, hitting a skill shot, etc. When you complete any event its like opening that door and walking into a room with a bunch of doors. Next event, next door, next room. Add on top of that you might play multiple games without restarting the table. Now you might have gone through a million doors on your way to this room. A bug can be this complex. It might happen only when you've maxed the multiplier on your third multiball, but it seems to you that it happens every third multiball because you always max your multiplier then. [/QUOTE]
