Geez. .......
The lawsuit will be interesting. I wonder what the law is on gambling prizes which appears to have been won. Seems awfully convenient to say, the machine malfunction happened as you were playing, but here’s a steak for your troubles.
How do we know the machine didn’t malfunction when it was taking money on losing spin after losing spin????
Because taking money is what they're designed to do. If it's taking your money, you KNOW it's working properly.
She has next to no chance of winning her law suit. The laws are universally written to favor the casino.
The State has a big interest in protecting the casinos because the state has a big interest in the house winning most of the time.

Call me a cynic, but I believe the laws of Nevada will favor the interests of the Casinos that bring in so much money to the local economy.

I would think it is the same as any sweepstakes. If it says you won, you won.
But the law at issue might have some bends in it.
Agree it will be interesting.
Never mind. I see it wasn’t in Nevada, so my comment doesn’t even apply.
This happened somewhere else a few years ago. I don’t know how it was resolved. The casino’s argument of “malfunction” does make any sense, nor does a max payout in fine print. It’s supposed to be about having real good mathematicians setting payouts based on probabilities. Malfunction should be factored in. If they don’t want payouts to go above a certain amount, there shouldn’t be columns for larger numbers.
in Idaho, an indian casino was sued by and elderly lady who tripped while at their casino and hurting herself pretty bad....she sued...it was basically just thrown out by the indian council and that was that...
apparently, they can not be sued...another insanity afforded them...
