From the reading of this it seems that it is WGTs intention to allow apparel bonuses to work in more forms of the game.
For me this will be the end of the game; apparel bonuses should only work in coin rooms and no where else period.
If I have to go chasing apparel bonuses to compete in the game then I will have no interest in playing once the flash version of this game ends.
Even now my favourite part of the game ( Alternate shot ) is spoilt because bonuses carry over ; this game is becoming a joke and not even a funny joke.
