Title: Bally 5000+ Miser Mode
Post by: technoweenie on July 23, 2011, 01:11:48 PM
Can anyone tell me what this option is?  The settings are 00=Miser III, 01=Miser II, 02=No Miser.  What effect on game play does this setting have?

This is what Miser is by the Bally book I have.
I think it is a back end program for the Casinos.

Well I'll be darned.  I never thought it might be an acronym.  I was taking it too literally.  Thanks for clearing up the mystery.

Were you thinking that the machine became more miserly when the setting was turned up? :5- :30- :72- :72- :72-

For home use, leave it off or you'll get errors because the machine will be expecting to communicate with the back end server.

Statfreak, that's too funny.  Although when I first came across that setting and didn't know what it was, a friend of mine commented, "Oh, so THAT's why I never get a big payout."

And thanks for the tip to set that option to off.
