This crooked casino needs to go out of business.
if the machine was malfunctioning then they need to return the money to every person who played on it
I would find a lawyer to sue them and sue them again and keep doing it until they gave up and paid up
Now doubt her fellow gamblers simply continued to sit at their machines pumping in quarter after quarter oblivious to the possibility that the same thing could happen to them.
Ah, well. At least people are still free to be stupid in this country.

This is not the FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED
This has got to be the 10th time I heard that a ‘jackpot’ was called a malfunction.
People who go to that casino tomorrow are suckers

The indian casinos have the worst pay out stats. I guess this is how they keep them.
Of course it is a malfunction. You don’t think they are designed that way to pay out, do you?
Ya ,it’s broken , it payed out
“This crooked casino needs to go out of business. “
Based on the name I’d bet it’s an “indian casino.” Which means it’s not in the United States, but rather on “indian land.” So good luck suing.
Sounds like what the government is about to tell us when we don’t get our Social Security at retirement time.
“We spent the $1800 per month you were going to get. We’re going to give you $14 an month. Our government malfunctioned”
That’s why it’s called “gambling” - you take a gamble and usually lose - she lost.
At least the Illinois lottery admits they squandered the money.
So THAT’S going to be their tact now? Claim “machine malfunction” and screw over the winner?
I hope she lawyers up and showers that casino with lawsuits.
There are several around these parts, and a few years ago, the local paper did a series about how they don't even need to adhere to Code.....a fire inspector who accompanied the writer said he'd shut one place down entirely, based on the exit doors alone, if the place wasn't on tribal ground.
The casino is responsible for the equipment and its maintenance. Their neglect of their equipment does not mean she didn't win.
“Every breaking wave on the shore
Tells the next one “there’ll be one more”
And every gambler knows that to lose
Is what you’re really there for”

Sort of like the Illinois lottery.
Kind of like in the same way when you go to the grocery store and an item is accidentally marked down from what it should be, the store will give it to you at that price for their mistake.
The machine told her she won so they should pay up. Bet you if it had “malfunctioned” on paying out $50, they would have just given it to her rather than kick up a fuss. This is clearly a case where they will fight tooth and nail to avoid paying out 8mil, regardless of whether it was legitimate.
If that casino had wanted to play it smart, they would have escorted that lady to one of the high roller lounges, informed her that her slot machine DID malfunction, however in the interest of keeping her business, they would like to present her with a one time ‘consolation’ prize of $100,000 dollars.
I’d bet she would have gone away happy.
But $80?
