[QUOTE="Slam23, post: 168385, member: 896"] My 3.5 hours is a guestimate because it was spread out over 3 days of playing and I didn't keep track exactly. So it may have been 4 or even 4.5, but definitely not 8 hours (my GF would have something to say about that! :) ) You pose an intrigueing question: can a table with quite even scoring options differ that much in playing time vs. scoring? There is no exponential scoring on Scared Stiff like a superdupermegajackpot on another machine (Bride of Pinbot comes to mind as a prime example). The only thing that I can think of, is that I was extremely proficient in scoring in MB situations. Really only Monster MB comes to mind as mode that can quickly rack up millions, and in my 1.9B game I had a 92 Scared Stiff level, which means I played 9 Monster Multiballs. I do remember a couple of them lasting very long, and I do have the double looping thing under control. This may not be the safest way of racking up jackpots, but hey, it looks d@mn sexy if you do it ;) I can't think of another reason why our games would vary that much in length of time. Did you time your game exactly? [/QUOTE]
