Gambler offered steak dinner after casino claims $43 million jackpot was 'machine malfunction'
 

A New York woman thought she had hit it big at a Resorts World Casino slot machine —until she was told that the near $43 million figure displayed was a technical glitch... and was offered her a steak dinner instead of money.

$6,500 (the max output for that machine) seems fair.

 

The casino should not be responsible for $43m if someone is playing on a machine that has a maximum winning $$ of $6,500.

I'd be pissed

Plot twist : she is vegan

There are lots of similar cases. Google them and you'll find the casinos always win and NOT ONE yet has paid the winner in a show of goodwill.


I contend that all my slot machine losses are also due to "glitches" in the machine. Prove me wrong

Agree - but the actual amount shown on the machine is irrelevant. The software can prove what she was supposed to "win" or lose. And legally it is binding.

Good point !!

 

.... and for the record, nobody sitting on a $0.25 or $1.00 Slot Machine should expect a winning of $43m.

Is the software available to the public or do we just have to take their word for it?

I get that glitches happen, but when someone shows a 43mm win, the consolation prize of a steak dinner can be a bit harsh.  Sounds like per the law they couldn't do anymore though.  So it is what it is. 

 

I can see why she's upset, but she will never win.
