Have you guys heard of the software on Game King where the player was able to play at a small credit value and then switch to the highest coin value before being paid out? This would be cool to install this software and try it out. ANy idea what software version this bug was on?

Obviously this only worked with an old version on the 3902 platform, I can't remember which version exactly. It was a little more complicated than you describe though. Here is how it worked:
1. Locate a Game King video poker machine configured for multi-denomination play.
2. Make sure the Double Up option is enabled on the machine.
3. Insert money or a voucher and select the lowest denomination level offered by the machine—for example, $1 per credit on a $1, $2, $5, $10 machine.
4. Choose your favorite game variant—Triple Double Bonus Poker is fun—and start playing.
5. Keep playing at the $1 level until you win a big hand. An $800 royal flush is perfect.
6. With your royal flush showing but not yet cashed out, hit the More Games button on the touchscreen and select a different game variation. Play it until you score a win.
7. Insert more money or a voucher into the machine.
8. Touch the More Games button again, and change to the maximum denomination—in this case, $10 per credit. Then return to your original $800 royal flush.
9. Press the Cash Out button. “Jackpot! $8,000” will appear on the screen and the light on the top of the machine will illuminate. Congratulations!

It was several versions. IGT recalled and replaced certain software. Those affected are in this document.

I was waiting to get a royal flush before I tried this on my software, but I never did. Supposedly it works even if you win something small, like a flush.

Thnaks for the info! I want to try to get one of these versions on my gameking at home!

Any idea if this software is in the wild?

I'll sell you mine! DM me if you're interested!

I HIGHLY doubt it. If it is then someone needs to be fired.

Here's an interesting read from wired magazine on the how the original bug was found and how they ended getting caught.
