I'm not sure where to post this, but, this is a warning!!! I have sent in to support about this, but need to inform others out ther incase there is a bug in a game. Also below you will see a copy of my transaction history, just so you can get an idea of where I am comig from.
I logged out last night (Sunday March 27 at 11:30pm EST) with just a little over 26K. When I logged in I had 1725L. I have a SUPER BOGGLE game on my lot, mostly for personal play, but others can play if they find it. It seems that this guy ( I have sent him a message about the mistake in the transactions and that it is under investigation) played my super boggle game for 5L (Panzer the creator gets a spiff off each bet, so he got 1L) Now not sure if there is a bug in the Super Boggle, like he over payed a bet, and it repayed him WAY over the amount back or what. It seems that just within a few minutes ( a game play is 90 seconds) I paid him two transactions of 10K each and then another of 5K just after. I did not authorize these payments! I'm not sure if there is a bug in it that its overpaying someone if the bet too much to play or even if it has to do with the SuperBoggle at all. Just wanted to let people know, they may need to watch their super boggle if they have one, just incase. I have sent a message to Panzer also, so he can check it.
If you have Super Boggle on your lots, you may want to pull them, or play around with them, see if there is a limit to the amount you can pay, try overpaying it, what ever. Just want to inform everyone, so it doesn't happen to them. Could just be a one time bug. I will repost on any information I get about this.

I have heard that the game is unsafe, and that a smartass quite easily can reset the high score and set the jackpot to any amount they want. I'm not going to publicize exactly what I heard, but that will certainly make it wide open for misuse. I guess this is what happened to you.

If this is the case, the creator should supply all his customers with a fix asap.

I have since long decided NOT to have it out anyway, since it doesn't update with the players high-score every time, and I don't want my players to be cheated out of their high score, even if it is only once in a while. I just recently heard about this issue, so I haven't tested mine to see if this exploit/bug actually exists. But my guess is, it does.

You most likely won't get your money back from Llabs, they have a very "handsoff" approach when it comes to player-to-player transactions.

Super Boggle Bug Fixed Yet?

04-22-2005 16:26

Is the Super Boggle bug fixed yet?

Does the game's owner get to set the price players pay?

This really makes you leary to place gaming machines. I wont use them anymore simply because of the lag they create, but I had an odd experience back in the day when I didnt any know better. I had a few games on my property and this "passer by"offered me a free black jack table. Said it paid him 1L only when someone won, so I placed it. A little while later I logged on my alt to do some work, and guess who appears, mr game giver, he started playing and didnt lose a hand, I suspect he was just waiting for me to log off and rape me. Needless to say Im overjoyed that I was able to catch it and log back on and delete the game while only a couple thousand down. It could have lost a fortune.
