I wondered what the hell that meant.

OH. Jesus, I thought maybe I was losing it, or maybe I was just taking too long or something and it was taking them away at random. Not that it has really mattered in the general scheme of things so far. Never had an issue with a bomb, yet, either.

Call me stupid, but... I just now noticed that some doors have cashiers/tellers and some don't. When someone drops a bag of money on a manned window it's worth 1000 bonus points.

Manned windows also seem to attract more bandits than unmanned windows.

The number of points received for a single bag of money increase according to the number of bags previously received on that window (200, 400, 600, 800 and then 1000).

So the best strategy would be to spend most of the time around the same windows (preferably around one with a teller) to increase the number of bonus and high value deposits.

Gosh, I spent so much time playing this game and never analyzed it like that. You guys are ruining the magic to me  :P .

But the analysis is the magic of it all ... well, of how people can pull a game like BP apart by just getting together on a thread and playing it. Like, I thought not so many people would have gotten into BP because it's a bit corny and the pace is different to most arcade games. I guess that might still be true, but I am able to enjoy this game all over again and learn things that I'd never realised before.

Seems that the blue lady almost always has a baddie behind her - but maybe 1 time in 100 gives $$ bags. Might be more likely when your points are higher.

I have actually scored well-over 500k before, but that was on another machine and at another time. Gotta get back and practice.

I guess you're right. I should keep my analysis to myself until after I used it to win this competition. I'm crazy to impose on present to you my favorite obscure Japanese labyrinth game  >:D .
