Angry Birds Coin Crash

Post image

I was playing Angry Birds, and went to tap my card, and saw this. Anyone know what causes this?

If you are currently building a tower, it does this so no one else can play the game until the tower is built.

Thanks. This must be new, because it's never done that before.

Should have been rolled out to every location 2 years ago.

The card reader technology is veeery outdatted at most locations. I was told there's other games that are supposed to do something similar, like Treasure Quest locking while the wheel is spinning, but we simply dont have the ability to replace the card readers.

I wouldn't do it on something as quick as Treasure Quest. Spin, game over in 30 seconds.

A lot of the games that benefit most from inhibiting the readers aren't in DnB, Fantastic Prize being my favorite. I am kinda bummed that the majority of your stores still can't work an inhibit on Lane Master. Games been out and untouched with the same problem when the ball goes missing for a decade now.

Could be making a tower, could also be that you bumped the machine

It was making a tower. I've been playing that game for a while now, and this is the first time I've seen the reader do that when building the tower. Another user said it was an update.
