Don’t the casinos prohibit you bringing in any camera or video camera ? How’s a gambler to prove anything ?

After losing $1,000 on various machines that day, Beal revisited the Wheel of Fortune slot machine.

There's one born every minute.

They’ve done this a number of times.

Someone wins big in “progressive slots,” and the casino just says “it was a software error,” and doesn’t pay.

Las Vegas is a big scam.

every time you lose at a casino, how do you know it was not a glitch and you should have won 1.2 million dollars ?

I have wanted to go to vegas or reno or wherever, but I want to drop quarters into a real mechanical machine with an arm.

I trust video machines as far as my current president joe.

I’m sorry for this lady’s experience. I would suspect, once you have truly felt like a millionaire, someone with more money than you ever dreamed of possessing, that feeling of ownership stays with you for the rest of your life.

If the casino never pays up, she will see herself as having been robbed of a million, and many of her friends will as well. They will always suspect “She must have been paid something! I’ll bet she has several hundred thou in the bank and is just too cheap to move uptown. Too cheap to lend a friend a mere Grand or two.

Is this casino operated by a tribe? Native American-run casinos have a reputation of using machines that inexplicably have "software errors" or mechanical issues right when a person wins.

The matter is investigated internally and always rule against the player. Because the tribe looks after themselves.

If the, “out of order”, sign was not visible BEFORE she began playing, they owe her the money. She should not only sue the casino, but the casino flunkey who threw her out

Just sue them for 10 million for pain and suffering, they’ll settle for the 2 mil because if this gets in front of any jury the casino will definitely lose.

Several casino’s have refused to pay out on large machine winnings due to a “technical” glitch.

“What’s the use in playing then?”

Lady, ever since the casinos have networked these things and had them centrally monitored and controlled, whatever you get is totally up to the casino. Nothing to do with chance anymore.

There’s no real “chance” with slots any more. All the machines are controlled by computer programs. That’s why they know it’s a glitch when it hit - the computer was supposed to keep that from happening.

You used to see this sort of thing happening more often in the Indian casinos. A little bit surprised to see the complaint at a Bally’s.

Is it ever a technical glitch when the player loses? Have they ever gone though the logs and found they owe someone money and actually payed?

Pay up. Tired of reading how casinos play games when they lose big.

I think she has a valid point. There were plenty of witnesses that can validate her claim. Sue them for 10 million, and watch how quickly they settle for less.

Those games are rigged. They never pay out when people win anymore. Its a computer, theres nothing mechanical going on inside to tilt it.

She’s dropping a grand per visit, and she’s worried about her “homeless son”?
