When they went to the new ACRES system it wasn't all smooth. Soon after
booting it up, they tried to use the bonus feature to automatically award
extra
credits when the promotion event was hit (full houses were included). They
did
it for only for a few days before they went back to manual awards.

Ah yes the Double Time promo. I think they still do DT on selected slot
machines...not the run of the house like in the good old days.
The downside to DT was trying to keep the bezel lighted green around the card
reader. If you were a casual player having a conversation with someone it
would time out on you quickly...frustrated alot of players. I felt like a rat
in a psych experiment.
Of course the APs had to love this promo, trying to figure which machines
blinked with a certain combined coin-in. What was that that doubled on the one
FPDW, five of a Kinds & Deuces?
