Billionaires Lament - 3/7/2013 6:38:08 PM    whaler75   Posts: 2 Joined: 3/7/2013 Status: offline I have been playing for a year or so, mostly in table games and slots. Today my "$" balance went over a billion. Got a screen message that 999 million was placed in a "retirement" account and my playing balance was reduced to 1 million. I don't know how to get the 999 million back, and I suspect that the loss is due to reaching a balance exceeding 9 digits. Any one know how I can recover my ill-gotten gains? Post #: 1

Unfortunately you will have to work from scratch again. _____________________________ Jason Carver Encore Sales Department and Customer Service www.encore.com For Tech Support, visit http://support.encore.com (in reply to whaler75) Post #: 2

RE: Billionaires Lament - 3/11/2013 5:47:02 PM    whaler75   Posts: 2 Joined: 3/7/2013 Status: offline I was a programmer and this is nothing except bad analysis and lack of foresight by the programmers. Another couple of digits in the element description can't possibly hurt anything. It is the same as when the programmer (probably the same one) left out a leading zero in the element description and ".075" is displayed as ".75". This tells me that the coder thinks 7.5% is the same as 75%. Hope the coder never worked on a banking system!!!! < Message edited by whaler75 -- 3/11/2013 5:48:10 PM > (in reply to JasonC) Post #: 3

I had a balance just under 100 million, but after the upgrade my balance was reset to the default of $5,000.00. Is there anything that can be done to recover my previous balance?
