I was playing a Wheel of Fortune at a friend's house, when all of a sudden, the player's score jumped up around 30 million points. What would cause this? He didn't even know how he did it.

Flakey opto.

Yep.... One of Chris's ramp optos came loose.... That was how Maya hung 237-ish on it. We didn't see it until much later because most of the night it was working great.

Mark the win with an asterisk.

Yeah.... I am sharpening my pitchfork right now.... That was the high score game for the 20 spot..... there were a handful of 20 million-ish games, and then out of nowhere one game that was 10x the score.

No biggie, we all had a blast and bathed in amazing chicken wings. Missed ya man!

It was fun. It happened to Tully during our tournament game, he ended up with 55 million. I played a WoF at a bowling alley one time when that happened and put up 3 Billion.

That explains it. I had what felt like a good ball going, but not 50 million good! I don't know the game well, so just chalked it up to dumb luck!

Ha yeah what can you do. Pinball is a mechanical game. Sometimes it happens.
