She should get the maximum payout of the machine. If no maximum is listed to the customer, she should get the $42 million.
LOL! The machine is set so that no one wins the grand prize. It’s a malfunction... I would NEVER go back to that place again. What a joke!
I agree if that machine starts flashing 42 million they had better pay up!
Yeah, the machine is dyslexic, pay me 24 million and we'll call it even.
NEVER GAMBLE WITH INDIANS!!!
I have a pal who is an exec at a Nevada casino, and he explained how these things work:
Machines (slots) have little computer things that have a rotation of all the possible outcomes. If a machine goes a lone time without a big payoff, the losing outcomes have been spent, just like a blackjack shoe that has spent a lot of cards without many aces.
In Nevada, they leave the hot cards/chips in place, and you can walk up and have a nice chance to win. In “Indian Territory” they note when the chips are hot, and PULL THEM our of the machines, replacing them with fresh even-odds chips.
So, the deal is that you have the same odds in Indian and Nevada casinos if you have a fresh chip, but when you realize how the Indians pull the hot chips, a random, typical machine is much less favorable in “Indian Territory” Because they leave the depleted chips, and pull the hot ones.
I refuse even to buy gas on “the res” because I assume that the state standards inspectors don’t verify that the gas pumps are honest.
not the first that has been on F. R. in the last couple of months..
Were I on a civil jury I’d find for the woman.

Bingo!
Yes, when have you last heard of a casino calling up some poor loser and telling them they checked the machines and found out they malfunctioned and failed to make a payout?
But the city lives to serve the casinos.
This isn’t the first time a Casino has pulled that crap.
These things are crocks. If there is no record of them identifying a malfunctioning machine and giving everyone that played while it malfunctioned their money back then they should have to pay out.
This is one area I wouldn’t mind to see some regulation. Gambling is already heavily regulated, so it’s not that much more to insist if a machine says payout you payout. This will force the casinos to buy better systems and never to hide behind the malfucntioning excuse. Only if fraud is involved will it override a malfunction.
But since the woman had lost hundreds of dollars trying, a few cheap meals along with enough money to get home was given her. Wooo-HOOO
The Gaming Department says the total jackpot she could have won playing the penny slots was about $250,000 that’s on a state-wide progressive pot system.
This is adding up to quite a few of these “Indian giver”cases now, isn’t it?
This story is WOEFULLY incomplete. All the woman says is that a “light came on” on top of the slot machine. No word on what symbols she might have lined up, etc. A light coming on on top of a slot could simply mean she hit the change button or won a hand-paid jackpot far less than $42 million. She’s gonna have to do better than that.
Calling this a malfunction is an admission that the game is rigged. If they know it wasn’t supposed to pay off, then they would also know, and be in control over, when it would. The natural odds are in the house’s favor already. Isn’t it illegal to manipulate that?
