Comment (by antoniou79):

 This issue seems to be caused from global game variables (_variables array
 member of the PinkEngine class), that were not cleared up when starting a
 new game.

 This means that the attached saved games are carrying stale global
 variable values; for example, here the "GotPoker" game variable already
 has the "TRUE" value in both attached saved games.

 I've issued a PR with a potential fix for this here:
 https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/4944

 As stated in that PR, this would fix the issue if a user were to start a
 *new game* again properly, but it will not retro-actively fix the awry
 saved games (eg the attached ones).

 It does also not address the case of using the console debugger to jump
 around game modules and pages, which is guaranteed to make a mess of these
 global game variable values and potentially cause unexpected behavior
 (similar to the poker issue). But at least a "New Game" would still clear
 everything up.
