I'm very interested to know if there is any coverage of automated tests at all for this system? This seems like the kind of mistake that would be picked up immediately with a bare minimum test suite.

I just want to make sure I'm understanding, this means when they say somebody expected to get x euros, really they won (x/100)/100 euros? Once to get it back to what it was before math, a second time to do the math correctly?
