When I first became an attorney, I was working for a firm that handled general legal issues - not really a specific specialty - a guy comes in and relays the story (with screen shots) of how he was playing an online slot machine and won a $500k jackpot - however, the online casino refused to pay and he wanted to know his options -- the online casino was based out of Panama apparently and the head partner basically told the guy he was SOL - never going to get paid and to take all his money off the site and never go back

He needs to fight this tooth and nail. They owe him that $500,000. He can even take that screenshot to the News and the News will love having a field day with that screenshot. Or maybe even better, Social Media. The online Casino who refused to pay him that $500,000 will be clamoring all over themselves to pay that $500,000 to get the negative publicity screenshot down.

Each time I commit a crime by gambling illegally I plan on alerting the news, Is that what you are suggesting?

Wrong. There are way too many online casinos who cheat their customers. They don't care about bad publicity. If business gets too low they just close up shop and open under a new name. You can't sue them either.
