 Sometimes when working on or playing my Uni Ultra's I run across things that make me ask, "What were they thinking?"

The first has to be the denomination sticker with no backlighting. Why? The older Uni's had them. They have it boxed in behind the sticker like it was meant to be lit but no light on the board?

This one is a real puzzler?
In the user programmed Memory Switches they have an option of "Have a delayed reel start action when game starts"
What I found out is when activated; Every 51st spin all three reels wind back about 1/4" before going forward.
What the heck is this?  Scratch Head   Why 51 spins?  Very strange.

And this one is just an opps on their part. All Ultra games have backlit reels. When playing Magnificent 7's you win when you hit Blank-Blank-Blank, like IGT Sizzling 7's. Well, the game activates the backlighting, but only the symbols will show the light! So you see the symbol above and below the payline half lit when you hit Blank-Blank-Blank.  Duh!

The backlighting issue works the same on IGT games with themes that 3 blanks pay
