[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 235824, member: 3745"] Well, if you're that worried, you can just drain any of the random EBs if you don't like them. In TPA at least, the big thing is that every time you reach the wizard mode, it lights a Special for an EB. And EBs are the biggest thing you can do in TOM because each one can be 1 billion or more in bonus. In other words, TOM's wizard mode really scores a billion secret points, in the form of that EB and the bonus for it. It is very easy to overlook this EB, as the game gives you no fanfare about lighting the special and little for collecting it. This might be different on the real table, especially if the special reward is not set to EB. But bonus still dominates, and the biggest component of that is how many illusions you have started, so it's best to start them and then safely hold the ball so you can start more. There are many in TPA: High Speed, Pinbot, Taxi, Cyclone at least, but in TPA you can always quit the table to reset the jackpot to the original value. I don't remember an escalating jackpot in SPP, but it (depending on settings) will carry balls locked in the couch from game to game. This is true. But isn't that why you like MM, for the skill testing wizard mode? Well, Slam23 plays long games on an iPad too. But anyway, yeah, Borg MB isn't an unbalancing issue on a real machine. [/QUOTE]
