Annoying software errors of our time

Pointless on Gamesnet - win the Head to Head and the screen freezes. Anyone else encountered this new and thoroughly irritating glitch or is it just a one off designed to harsh my mellow?

PS yes I did try turning it off and on again.

I know of two machines where this happens. In both cases you just have to wait - took about 3-5 minutes then it works again for the endgame.

I've seen some where the whole game runs agonisingly slowly but never one that looks like it's completely frozen.Cheers for the advice though,paragoon,I'll know to wait a bit should it happen.I find that I'm not playing it that much though nowadays as the jackpot is often low - I think you might have suggested previously that was down to pro play,paragoon,but I think quite a bit of it is the punters winning every so often.

Sadly not with this one. Put the stopwatch on it and gave up after 18 minutes of nothing happening...

That's impressive patience,Topical.Is this problem exclusive to one type of machine?

I had a full pint and nowhere else to go before catching a train, so it wasn't really a feat of endurance :) This one was a Gamesnet, but it's the only one I've encountered, so not exactly conclusive data.
