$4000 is not higher than $4000, Alan, er, Andrew.
This topic is a little silly but I do play a game that has the double up feature.
However, that game will not allow you to double up a lock up.
I've never tried to double up past a lock up so not sure if it would allow it.
Doesn't matter though.
Anyone who was abusing the Double Up Bug wasn't trying to double up to the moon.
They were hitting something like 800 dollar aces on dollars and switching over to 5 dollar denom and the machine would lock up paying 4000 dollars.
They moved all around town(s) locking up machines.
They didn't make a million dollars in one session lol.
Alan, per the usual, has his facts all tangled up. I've forgotten all the details but IIRC, the hand was never doubled. It was just the route one went to turn a $400 hand into a $4000 hand. It somehow allowed the final hand to be switched to a higher denom because....with the DU activated the hand wasn't over yet.
