10/27/2010 A user reports that ROM version L-7 has a multi-player bug in it and is not recommended. The error is: If any player joins the billionaire's club, after they drain and their bonus is collected, the machine will reset. L-6 does not contain this bug.

Marketing Slogans:

"Here Comes the Bride!"

"Watch Her Turn Heads!"
