When I first started playing in late June the number of tokens awarded followed a simple formula, one token for each boss plus any won on the flips. A 700 game would pay out a min of four tokens, with the possibility of getting up to 8. A spirit plan might be offered on the flip for the 3rd extra boss.

When the ending awards were first introduced the possible token amount increased by one, so a 700 game was worth a min of 5 tokens.

About a month ago things changed. Token awards have become very random. As near as I can tell it's one token for the end boss, one token from the ending awards, and flip tokens. If the extra bosses are paying tokens it's on a low percentage chance.

The reason for moving from easy to normal, and normal to hard, was that it was a little more likely to get a 700 game as you went up, and the reward for a 700 game, other than the chip being a level 4, was the number of tokens awarded. That's gone now.

Every time I run a lab now and end up with 2 tokens for a 700 game my desire to keep playing drops. I have enjoyed the game but this is just kills it for me.
