Does anybody who owns a Pistol Poker not have the multi-ball bug? I heard somewhere that a newer version of the software may exist (that possibly addresses this issue)? I love the game but that bug is enough to drive me bonkers.

Yes, that's exactly what happens. You're in multi-ball and everything's going great, then all of the sudden the game's over even though there are still balls in play (maybe one by the plunger or bouncing around on top). From what I understand, the software was never finished in the sense that this bug exists. I've just heard it referred to as the "multi-ball bug".

I'm not in front of the game so I'm not sure which version of the software I have, but I read somewhere that there may be a newer version than what I have, which is why I was asking if anyone had it or if their game didn't have the multi-ball bug (so I could check their version of the software).

If you do a google search for "pistol poker multi ball bug" you'll see lots of topics on it.

Wow, thanks Rich - this could turn out to be some invaluable information! I just figured it was a software bug because everything I read described it that way. As I mentioned above, this issue is driving me bonkers. Just last weekend I talked to a friend who also has a PP and he said he didn't have this issue, so I was going to check his software version but maybe his coil isn't as strong - or maybe the later runs of the game had some changes made.

I may try to move the actuator arm a little to slow down the force in the outhole. I'll report back if I can replicate the success that Rich had.
