Woman claims she was cheated out of $2.56 million dollar slot win
Quote: ChumpChange\ The techs should have called IGT over before getting around to any respins. I guess it takes weeks for them to show up. Carry your cell phone camera with you when you play slots. It probably errored out trying to double the Jackpot when it shouldn't.
IGT and most other companies have a team dedicated to any casinos where large jackpot machines are located. My company had a two hour window to respond to them no matter where in the country they were located.

No video surveillance was taken of the event but eyewitnesses including 2 who were unrelated to Plaintiff testified the machine operated like a jackpot hit and then malfunctioned AFTER 20 seconds.
That is surprising as most jurisdictions require all of the large jackpot machines to have camera coverage.

Apparently not Louisiana where this occurred.
Please refer to last sentence first paragraph

The appeal has the facts of that case. It is the only reason I posted that.
As for the udder stuff, this is not just about winning, but also about her emotional distress claim. The company, IGT, made no effort to prevent this situation from occurring. The wheel had an error--a "tilt" in the parlance of slot machinery--yet the only indication was an error message on the very bottom far from the wheel. The win space illumination indicator also remains illuminated. Anyone who say this would assume that the jackpot was won. If you walked by, you would be unlikely to notice the error. Even players are likely directed to "look up." IGT, as the biggest slot machine manufacturer, should have the forethought to understand that these errors can cause severe harm to gamblers. I do not even think neglect is a strong enough word here. The only way to describe IGT's action is malicious.
If I was on the jury, I would no vote the slot win, but yes vote any damages for emotional whatevers.

Actually no effort to prevent it from occurring, quite the opposite. IGT of all the games makers seems to really push the near misses hard.
Anyone that remembers the original wheel of fortune would probably recall that on most wheel spins, the wheel would always go right over the 1000 to land on the 25 that was conveniently right after the 1000.
Not familiar with this new version, but wouldn’t be surprised if the pointer landing on the jackpot wedge was an intentional near miss gone wrong.
BOMBSHELL PHOTO 👉 Slot Player DENIED $1.2 Million Jackpot Due to Malfunction - Opinion Changed!
Quote: ChumpChangeGamble Smart is back with a Part 3 video that includes a change of heart and a photo of the WOF machine the slot player took of the Jackpot winner. He thinks there is a case to be made for a big payout but for the reel tilt error and whatever that was about which is unknown. He might want to step back and let the courts handle it now but at least he got some original facts into the record.

The guy says in that 3rd video what I said above about the progressive not resetting. He still says she didn't win due to malfunction.
She has a case, he says, because the wheel pointer made her believe she won???? That argument has never flown.
The sings say "malfunction voids ALL pays and play (not all pay and play except emotionally distressing fake wins).
There is no case here other than the lady suffered distressing. I don't believe that will fly.

Correct. No case as far as the jackpot goes but she will get a small settlement for the "emotional distress". If I had to guess it would be about $50k.
