Consecutive Arena victories bug https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=42402.msg527930#msg527930

I just got up to the special spin in Silver, but I've not been playing the Arena much recently so it didn't click with me that there was going to be a special spin.  So, on my third normal spin, when I saw that the first two reels weren't the same I just hit "OK".  As soon as I did it I thought "what an idiot" and then went and did something else.  I've just come back to the game and without thinking hit the Gold Arena button, even though I'm playing a Silver deck, because I usually farm Gold. 

I've not played Gold in a couple of weeks, yet when I see the screen telling me who my opponent is going to be, all 3 rings are already lit - which should be impossible.  I play the match and win and, from that one victory, I get a special spin.

I'm not complaining, or anything, but it was strange.

Edit 1: Just tried to recreate it and it didn't happen a second time.

Edit 2: Yes it did, but on the Silver, rather than Gold:



Click to enlarge.  All 4 rings lit at the start of a match. 

Before this, I did as last time - I won 4 consecutive matches, then hit "OK" while the 3rd reel of the 3rd normal spin was still spinning.  The only difference is that I initially tried to see if this would work by playing Gold, and it didn't.  But clicking back on Silver gave me this.  I wonder if being away from the game for a while makes a difference.

Anyway, I'll post again to say if I win or lose and, if I win, whether I get a special spin.

Edit 3: Yup, I won and I got a special spin.

It's a known feature, actually. If you leave before your special spin starts, the rings won't restart but you have to go get a win again to claim it. It's pretty good, especially with my occasional brainfarts when I leave before the special spin starts.

Oh, I'm sure I've done that before without it happening.  Good to know.

That doesn't explain why it transferred from Silver to Gold the first time, though.
