If its a glitch its their problem since they dont care if its a glitch if people lose. It should be the rule about that so there would be no need for a court. I cant imagine the mental problems that guy had before this verdict. I would go insane for sure. Im glad that there is a happy ending.

I wouldn’t have celebrated until the day it hit my account. I’m all too familiar with casino’s refusing to pay. Glad he got his win finally. With interest which is nice also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep justice in the end for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salfordlad Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 So glad this guy got his winnings. They offered him 60k instead of 1.7 million the cheeky fckers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBingoKingx Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Finally someone in court ruling against the fucking “malfunction voids all pays and plays”-rule, which only works in the benefit of casinos really. But i have to admit, paying it 3 times might seem a bit much. I think getting hit by lightning 382 times, in a row, in the next 5 minutes gives better odds than winning that progressive 3 times. But then again, in the end it is theoretically possible... how incredibly small the odds might be. 11 hours ago, MrUKHackz said: There's cases of people winning millions in Vegas and not getting a buck as its a software glitch, a woman won 8.5mill in 2015 ish I think and never got paid. The difference there is that the machine had like a max win of what, $10k or so as it was on a penny machine. And in theory, and i know this sounds ridiculous, it is possible to win that progressive blackjack game 3 times. Even though the chances of it are astronomically small. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solario333 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Perhaps a software glitch is the only way these games actually pay a jackpot !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
