This article explains how a Colorado woman was playing the casino’s penny slot machines and a message came up that she had won $43 million dollars. The casino was quick to inform her that the message was an error and that she in fact did not win the multi-million dollar prize. Instead, the casino issued her an apology and comp-ed her a free breakfast.
I believe that as soon as a player, who is at least 18 years or older, begins to play any game or machine at a casino, that is as if they are entering into a contractual agreement that if they win, the casino will pay the said amount. I feel as though the casino reneged on their responsibility to fulfill their end of the contract. I hope that this woman walks away with a substantial amount of money and not just a free breakfast.

There was a similar case a few years ago at Phila Park.

Was there a disclaimer on the machine she was playing on? I think she should do some more investigating to see if it was the machine's "fault". If a machine isn't supposed to pay out, then couldn't that be seen as false advertising? Why would you play a machine knowing that you had no chance of winning? You wouldn't!
She definitely deserves more than a free breakfast!
