Hitting the jackpot is not a guarantee. When she placed her bet she was not under the impression that it would lead to 43 million, especially since the slot machine clearly stated that maximum bet that she could have won. She knew all along that it was a mistake, and should be happy that she at least got her money back and a steak dinner. She could have just as easily put that money into the machine and received no money in return.
My point is what kind of malfunction was it? was it malfunction when she actually won the max payout and it accidentally showed the millions? Why is it even programmed to show millions on a slot machine if the max payout is only $6500?
They need to pay her the max payout which is $6,500 and cut their losses and everyone go back happy

They've stated it was a no payment "spin" and the millions winning readout was the malfunction. It showed a number when it shouldn't have. It could have shown 500 trillion. It's not programmed to show millions, which is why it's a malfunction.

It doesn't matter what type of malfunction it is. As for it showing millions, this was just the printed ticket to take to the cashier. In other words, I could put in a million dollars worth of quarters and then 'cash out' and my ticket would display a million dollars. It is just displaying 'total winnings'. Of course in this case, the only amount she actually won was $2.25.
Also, please read the article. State law forbids the casino from paying her the 6500. No matter what you think should happen, you are wrong.
"Eyewitness News asked whether the casino can award the max pay-out. The gaming commission says by law it can't do that. She's only entitled to her winning, just $2.25."

Casinos can pretty much make any winning a malfunction.

You obviously didn't understand the comment you're responding to, because you didn't address his point.

Casino wanted to do just that. State Gaming Board said it was NOT legal for them to do so. No prizes can be awarded in event of a malfunction.

I would hope that the casino would write the State Gaming Board for permission. It may be a futile exercise but it would enhance the public's confidence in that casino. In tourism and many business consumer confidence is everything.

So basically it is safe to say, a Casino can make any winning a malfunction to get out of paying?
I bet they are allowed so many malfunctions a month
