Just been playing my machine and I took the feature 'Cashtastic' which is where the reels line up so that every win is on the reels and they spin round at the same time and you have to use skill to hit the win you want. Thing is when its done it before and the reels spin at a normal speed when I press start to stop the reels on a win usually one or 2 reels will jump down slighty then pull back up, as if the machine tries to stop the reels suddenly and theres too much kinetic energy so they sort of 'jump out of aligment' but not so much they actually do. Anyway I took the feature but kept my hand on the start button so when the machine stops the reels on a win it pauses (because I havent let go of start) but one of the reels (reel 3) did jump out 1 place, so I though great, the alarm will go off now, but when I let go of start the reel moved back up? As if its meant to do it? Why though? for effect? I have no idea.... Ill try and get a video....

That just looks like poor coding, the fact that it corrected itself shows that it knows what it's doing,
Just doing it at the wrong time - 'on button up' instead of 'on button down',

Or it could be there for effect, imagine your in the pub and press (+hold) the stop button, but two reels have slipped, you think 'sh*t it's ripped me off'
then you release the button and 'surprise' you now have a win!

take you pick, either sloppy coding or inventive coding

Either way it should not be a problem.

Its a tricky one, ive got a video of it doing it, post it in a sec. I no reds always seem to make the reels move at high speeds for certain features, but the reels are moving slow, which I think stepper motors dont like? Oh well ill put it down to coding
