I posted this in another thread, and after having received a response, I am curious to know what others think. It relates to Rival's "Wild Carnival" slot.
The response....
My view is that this is very poor programming indeed. If the bet size has not changed, the system should be able to detect this, and the warning should not appear, thus allowing continued use of the 'max bet' button. What it should not be doing is "assuming" a change has been made....it should be checking first.
Also, I often constantly use the Bet Max, or alternate it with the SPIN, if I am playing max bet. I have never encountered this before. Was anyone else aware the 'max bet' had limitations of use?
If using the max bet button, when a bead bonus is gained, continuing to play directly afterwards by pressing the max bet button gives an "ACCUMULATION WARNING. Are you sure? Changing your bet will reset your bead bonus" error message.
However using the SPIN button does not result in this problem.
It is possible to continue without losing the bonus by pressing 'cancel' to get rid of the error msg, then pressing SPIN to continue, but if you try to use the max bet button again, you will encounter the Accumulation Warning msg.
The response....
We tested this out, and we can reproduce what you are saying, but this
is intended to warn the user of any changes. It's not a bug that we can
see.
The 'Bet Max' really is only used in the first spin. Once you've 'Bet
Max', you can just continue to press the 'Spin' button. You don't need
to continue to 'Bet Max' unless you change the settings.
When you click 'Bet Max' on the bead bonus, it assumes you're changing
the settings and bet size. So the accumulation warning is displayed.
It's not displayed when you press 'Spin'
