Quoted from songofsixpence:Hi Guys -
I have this issue with my Big Guns, though I assume it's not specific to that machine, or even that board.
When I start a game, the bonus mulitplier starts on 3x, and never moves.
I hope this issue is something easy, like one of the ROM chips
There is NOTHING wrong with the machine. A number of machine flash a bonus multiplier, and it is at that point when you get that bonus multiplier that it lights extra ball or special.
There is an adjustment to lock it to a level (#45 in Big guns), but 3x may not be what it is set to if the machine auto adjusted it down to try to match an award percentage for specials.
A number of other machines have flashing multiplier awards as well.
