? about Ellis Island

I put in 100 quarters in the left most of the three nsu single lines at
12:30 am sat Mar 1st , didn't get much play and noticed 45 points
registered. Did they set them to only pay single points during 5x points
times in March? was I the first one to find out? Should have gotten 200
to 300 points if 5x.

Not getting much play is disappointing psychologically but is not germane to the calculations. You probably recycled some at least. So you need to count HANDS, not your originally investment. After 20 hands of full-coin quarter play (that would be $25 coin-in) you should have 25 points if getting single points - 125 points if getting 5 x points. There is one other possible explanation. Some of the older machines used to only count down at single points and the bonus points were added immediately AFTER you took out your card. The machines you spoke of might still do it this way. The newer machines, like the 3/5 Play, count down points including the bonus in real time.
