Well, I think we have had to many of these… Either get those machines off the floor or find the source of the problem…

I work in a gameroom and it is hard to tell someone that the machine malfuntioned and they r not getting paid. They r machines and it does happen so he is lucky he got anything. They could have screwed him and do u really think it would hurt their business? I think not!!!!!!

If the machine says that maximum payout for a $1.50 bet is $2,500, then that is all he could possible be entitled too. Yes, it sucks that it showed $166 Million, but he knows that the machine does not pay that much.

The casino should pay the $2,500 and Mr. Seebek should be happy for that.

Holy crap, you better believe I’d be marching in with some lawyers if they tried to pull that crap on me. What, then, constitutes as a ‘malfunction”? When does it become obvious? Can the casino simply deny someone an actual, real jackpot by citing it was a ‘malfunction’?

I say if it’s a malfunction, they should pay anyway. Casinos make enough money, and it should be a good faith action. You can’t get someone’s hopes up like that and then take it away.
