My player (Me. The only one playing) hit a bingo and was awarded 104 points. It’s set for 100 for the bingo and 5 for each marked square. How does that happen?
Not a huge deal but a pretty obvious scoring issue when all scores should end in a 0 or 5. This will look weird with many players playing.
Just hit another bingo. So it seems like it’s only giving 4 points for the called square when it’s combined with a bingo.
Hi @dandeibert, we appreciate you reporting this issue to us.
After testing out a Bingo Game specifically with the Decreasing Points Per Bingo setting enabled, we’ve been able to reproduce the same scoring issue where the first player to obtain a Bingo is awarded 104 points instead of the 105 score based off the default 100 points per bingo and 5 points per square.
At this time, we’ve created a ticket for our Development Team to check this issue out further and will be sure to report back with any updates on its fix.
As always, thank you for taking the time to bring this to our attention.
Update and Question:
Update: This “4 points” issue still exists.
Question: The “Decreasing Points Per Bingo” option doesn’t seem to be working. Each consecutive bingo is receiving 104 (weirdly) points. Is this a known issue?
Hi Dan,
Thank you for checking in and for reporting this issue.
After further review, we’re able to reproduce players only obtaining 104 points even when the Decreasing Points Per Bingo setting is enabled. In this case, we’ve gone ahead and created a ticket for our Development Team to review this issue further.
In the meantime, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Help Desk at help@crowdpurr.com if you have any further questions or concerns.
To clarify… the update was that the bingo points are not decreasing at all.
Yes, the 104 points is odd but not anything huge. I was just pointing out that each consecutive bingo is ALSO getting 104 points and not decreasing in any way.
Hi Dan,
Thank you for this clarification!
After initial testing, our team was able to reproduce the issue you reported with consecutively awarded bingos not decreasing in points. (i.e. The first two bingo lines both received 104 points instead of the second decreasing)
However, it appeared that the remaining awarded bingo’s were properly displaying decreased awarded points. (i.e. 103, 102, etc) In this case, would you be able to send the Experience Code for the game you’re witnessing the non-decreasing points to our Help Desk at help@crowdpurr.com? We’d be happy to review this further.
I have an update on this thread.
There was a minor bug in the Decreasing Points Per Bingo setting where indeed the first bingo earned would have its points decreased. Instead of getting the full bingo points (e.g. 100) it would get 99. Then, with Award Points Per Square enabled (e.g. for 5 points per square) the increase would be 99 + 5 = 104. So this is where the 104 is coming from.
This has been fixed in the latest update and no longer decrements the first bingo earned, so from now on you should see the full bingo points for the first bingo plus the called square’s points to earn the bingo (if Award Points Per Square is enabled).
There is still another bug where if a called square causes multiple players to earn a bingo and all the players mark it within roughly three seconds, under-the-hood our design will consider all these bingos as coming at the same time and will award them all the same points. It takes roughly three seconds for a bingo to hit our database and then be reflected in the bingo count and thus have Decreasing Points Per Bingo take effect.
This is why you’re seeing the first few bingos all come in at 104 above (though with the above fix they will now correctly be at 105). If you keep calling squares, you’ll see future bingos are properly decremented.
This second bug is a deep-down design issue which will likely not be fixed until our larger bingo overhaul/update we have planned later this year.
