    Daily Prizes not resetting after latest update

    My daily prizes are no longer resetting, they have been the same for a couple days now. I have got them out the bandit so they have just been 4 green ticks for the last 2 days.

    Anyone else had/got this problem and know any fix?

    This has happened to folks before; bet you messed with time. If you move time into the future and then play the slot machine, you will confuse it until that amount of time has passed, plus the time of the slot machine cycle time (one day).

    Example: Lets say its 09/22/2014 at 5PM. If you move time 2 days into the future to 09/24/2014 at 5PM, and go to play the slot machine, then it will probably reset itself to new entries (because its 24-hour cycle is over)... and those entries will be finished 24 hours later on 09/25/2014 at 5PM. So. . . when you put time back to 09/22/2014 (it doesnt matter what time, really) then that slot machine cycle will STILL not end until 09/25/2014 at 5PM. So even though it looks like it counting down on a typical 24 hour cycle. . .it will not refresh those major rewards for 3 days.

    Hope you didnt put it REALLY far in the future. If there is a way to fix this, I have not heard of it; this kind of data is stored on the server so a reinstall shouldnt fix it.

    You're right my son did mess with the date on my phone a few days ago. Could have put it forward anything between 4 weeks to 6 months

    I guess this is a bug which needs fixing? As it enables people to get extra hours to play with the same prizes thus increasing the chance each time untill they have won them all

    Its actually not stored on the server, I had my phone about 2 years ahead "datewise" but somehow a few weeks ago I managed to reset it so now it refreshes every day again.
    I dont know the exact steps but on my tablet (with the latest update) I forwarded time (with internet connection on) until the time in the slot machine read somethink like -- -- -- after that I just spin the wheel set back the time and finished the race and I got my daily prices back.

    It's definitely on the server because I've done this before on my iPad and it transferred over to my iPhone too when I requested it to update from server (I was trying to make it go away; it didn't work)

    Sounds like you might have found a way to get it confused and cause a slot machine reset (or something like that), which is encouraging.

    Came to think of it it must be stored on the server as you say because I have done the same thing and it showed 4 checkmarks on my other device when I tried this.
    But as you said somehow I must have managed to trick the server (on both of my accounts when the --:--:-- showed up).
