This isn't the first time this sort of thing happened. There have been multiple cases of slot machines displaying a payout much higher than the actual max payout of the machine. The casino's always have an out since their slots have posted warnings that malfunctions always voids wins.
At the least the casino should have given her the max payout for that machine, $6500. That's like a drop in the bucket to them.
She already earmarked the millions, to buy a barber shop for her son and the a big chunk she would give back to her community.The apparent jackpot hit was in late August at Resorts World Casino.
It was casino chaos in this video shot by Katrina's partner after she reported her huge winnings. She was surrounded by customers and casino personnel and security. Escorted off the casino floor, she was told to come back tomorrow for the decision.
Katrina remembers her next day visit to the casino, "I said what did I win? (casino rep said) You didn't win nothing." Katrina says the only winning the casino offered was a steak dinner.
"They win and the house doesn't want to pay out. To me that's unfair," says her attorney, Alan Ripka.
Ripka says, at the very least Katrina should win the maximum allowed on the Sphinx machine the casino says it's $6,500.
I think she should get the sixty five hundred in this case. Seems fair. What slot machine pays tens of millions like that though? She really thought that was a slot payout?
She's only entitled to her winning, just 2 dollars and 25 cents.
If the results of her spin entitled her to a win of $2.25, why does anyone think that she should have received the max payout for the machine? It's unfortunate that the machine told her that she would win more, but that was clearly an error.

while working for mgm years ago, whenever a jackpot was hit on the casino floor (on one of those rolling mega millions machines), an alarm would go off in one of the IT offices & a printer would start printing all of the details - which machine, if the player had inserted a club card, how much the player had played, how long the player had played, the grand total won, etc. the casino floor would call IT to verify the winning $ amount, down to the penny. it wasn't uncommon for the machine to display the wrong amount, usually by a couple of dollars. we never had one that was $6480 off.
Too many belief in unearned stuff from a business being ok to take or be given. No one goes to bankruptcy court to help them out though many businesses fail. its not a guarantee cash machine for owners.no promise you even get your investment back. What are they teaching in our over priced education system?
