MG have no intention of "correcting it", it was MG that reprogrammed the software to ADD the lag in the first place. For the first few months of tournaments, this lag did not exist, and with a top notch PC and connection, it was possible to spin like crazy. A lag of up to 6 seconds has been programmed into the software in the form of a conditionally executed piece of code. The trigger seems to be strongly related to the interval between two prior spins, and weakly related to the spins just prior to this pair. Often, it is a series of naked spins in the bonus round that triggers the lag, and when triggered it can be seen in operation because the little "lights" near the credit box start cycling, indicating the software is in a waiting state for a reply from the server.
IF the lag is triggered outside of a free spins round, there is another sign, and this is that the cost of the spin is not deducted from the coin box UNTIL the waiting state is over and the result arrives. This is completely opposite to what happens during normal casino play, where the loss/delay is GENUINE, and not "forced", and the cost is immediately deducted, but the reels never stop spinning, and reconnection either shows the end result, or refunds the deducted cost.
This is just shoddy programming, and leaves evidence as to what is really going on, rather than what MG would like you to THINK is going on (blaming your PC and ISP instead of MG and their servers).
The same approach lead to the discovery that they were taking shortcuts in the VP double game, and that the results of a game were determined often at a stage BEFORE the player had actually made a choice which should have been what determined the outcome. This has lead to the view that many events are predetermined, and not randomly calculated at the time the player makes their choices, and has further brought into question the card games, as well as slots bonus rounds.
