I’m betting (pun) the tribe in question pays out the amount in an out of court settlement.
Thats the smart move from a business viewpoint. Casino’s that get the rep they don’t pay when they lose don’t survive.

The machine has a $2500 max pay out disclaimer. Regardless of tribal law I think the casino is safe.

This isn’t the first time they have ripped of patrons. They should have to post a big advertisenment stating “We are Indian givers”

“If I went to a casino I would not go to an Indian one.”
Agreed. First few casinos I ever visited were Indian casinos. Later I visited Vegas and disovered the Indian casinos I had been to were dumps in comparison.

In PA, there have been MANY times jackpots were reneged on. They say the machine was not ready to pay. That’s like saying the dealer gave out too many aces so we won’t pay. This is only one of the reasons the slots will fail in PA>

There was no wager placed to win $1.6 million either. He placed a wager to win $2,500. I think it depends then on how prominent the Max $2500 sign is. If it is easily noticed, then the guy doesn't have a case, but if it is hideen of the machine, then guy wouldn't know what the max is.

Methinks the whole “malfunction” thing is just a BS excuse to not pay up.
A legit malfunction voids the payout...but how does one prove it did or did not “malfunction?”
A malfunction is probably simply a malfunction in the casino’s bank account and their desire to part with the cash.

In this case then it’s different but in other similar cases I’ve heard, I would say the casino was screwing around not wanting to pay.

Even nickel machines can be part of progressive jackpot pools.
There was a payout of $7.8 million on a nickel machine in Reno, on Jan. 27.

A machine with a maximum $2500 jackpot hitting for $1 million is about as obvious a malfunction as you can get.

Later I visited Vegas and discovered the Indian casinos I had been to were dumps in comparison. I spent about 30 minutes in Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun,both of which are Indian facilities that were recently built in Connecticut.Neither of them were dumps by any means.

Nevada and New Jersey have gaming commissions.
What do Tribes with casinos have? The Tribal Council?
They'll just vote you off the Rez.

The slot machine has a disclaimer that says it pays a maximum of
$2,500 and warns that malfunctions void all winnings, He should've taken the $2500 because he didn't win the amount shown,
and does not deserve it.

Or if you go to a casino, take the approach of, I have $50, which is what I would pay to go to a ballgame, enjoy the free drinks, and as soon as you double your money, walk away. And if you lose the $50, it was at least a few hours of entertainment.
