This link mentions that the casino offered her a free dinner as well as a refund of what she originally put into the machine, $2.25.
So that's not really what she 'won' but only what she put into the machine prior to getting that malfunction.
There's no info available on the specifics of what combination of 'wheels' she had on that malfunction bet. We don't know the exact amount of what that payoff would have been had it not malfunctioned.

Good catch. Thank you for the clarification.

Don't most slot machines have posted on them the ways you can win and the amount for each scenario?
Unless $43 Million was listed, she did not win that amount.
How does a $6500 machine "malfunction" by putting a 43 million win on the screen, yet people think the casino isn't responsible? Could the race of the winner have anything to do with that?
Casinos cheat people. This is why they have so much money. You are welcome to keep gambling in their casino as long as you don't start winning big money. The casinos permit patrons to win some, just enough to keep them coming back for more.
We hear these excuses all the time from the casino. "Malfunction" they say. I say Pay the lady something besides a stinking steak dinner.

Computers malfunction. Happens all the time.
Yup, the casino is "responsible"- to the extent that it needed to fix the machine.
Your implication of her being a "victim" in this because of her race is not even worth commenting on.

So what's to stop a casino from saying that every time someone wins? "Oh, you didn't win, it was a malfunction..."
I think it would've been cheaper for them to pay for the max payout for that machine than what they'll lose in fighting her and the bad reputation they'll get. It's Vegas, there's plenty of competition. $6,500 to them isn't much.

I think it's because they expose emotionally vulnerable people. I've been to Vegas and spent $0 on gambling there. To me, gambling is one thing that I never got into because I knew that it could get so addicting that it could ruin me. Best thing was to not get started.
