In a report from WFTV, a man in Daytona Beach, Florida, hit the jackpot of about US$166 million, or so the slot machine says, but was told he will not get a single cent because the machine had probably malfunctioned. It’s such an anti-climax. I imagine the man will probably sue the casino for some money, even if not for the entire US$166 million.
It seems so convenient to blame on malfunction when someone hits the jackpot. The casino apparently explained that it had to be a malfunction because the top prize paid by that particular slot machine was US$99000, but they wouldn’t even pay out that amount.
With the Integrated Resorts opening up soon in Singapore, we will hear about many winning stories of our own. I’m wondering how malfunctions would be managed in Singapore.
