No crossing midnight has not bounced me, But I have only been logged in at midnight on a subsequent logon to play mini-games after I already finished my daily play.

I have experienced loosing my mini-game scores as well in the past. This has only happened to a specific level of a single minigame and it usually only happened on a mini-game that I play a lot. so it may be a glitch with the high score table. High score tables usually use a queue or stack for keeping the scores. Typically when a Queue or stack is implemented it uses an array with pointers. on rare occations when it is programmed the programmers forgets to test the case of when the structure is full before adding to it. when this happens (typically) it simulate an empty structure. and I would believe the High score reset is a result of this based on my observations of when it happened to me.
