I love horse racing, but these slot machine parlors have nothing to do with racing. They appear to me from my one (multiple) experience to be facilities for low-lifes. (When I say multiple, note that I've never put any money in these machines but out of habit I visit the formerly beautiful Saratoga Harness facility a couple of times a year.) The ones in NY State are especially jokes because they don't even have slot machines. The have "video lottery terminals," which pay off in tickets, if the suckers have anything left when they're done. There's no tinkle of falling coins as in Vegas, so they fill the room with some sort of ersatz noise. It's really depressing. It has nothing to do with horse racing, and as soon as the mall folks figure this out, the tracks which have sold out will be left holding the bag.

I hope this woman really scores, and puts Yonkers out of business for good.

(Other than that, I have no strong opinions about this matter.)

Those places are about money. Play by the rules, which means spend money and lose money, and you’ll be fine. Threaten their pipeline into your wallet, and you can expect trouble.

They should publicize the cop’s name, so that from now on when he testifies, the defense attorneys can use it to impeach his credibility.

"65 year old great-grandmother."

Wow, that's pretty young to be a great-grandmother these days.

Anyway, seems like she has a pretty good case, being called a liar and then humiliated does not go over well with a jury.(Not that it will ever go that far)

Sounds like she has a very, very good case. Great Gradma may have hit the jackpot while being strip searched.

Maybe you can tell me why you moved this to "chat." I dutifully did a search on the word casino before posting . The first article that showed up was Jackpot or Mistake? Man Sues Casino over $1.6 Million 'Jackpot' which was posted on October 25th and remains as a "news/activism" story. I couldn't possibly have found a more similar story.
