WOMAN THINKS SHE WON $43 MILLION IN SLOT MACHINE MALFUNCTION
Bookman's partner captured the casino chaos on video after she thought she'd hit the jackpot. She was surrounded by customers, casino personnel and security.
"I said what did I win? (The casino representative said,) 'You didn't win nothing,'" she recalled.
Bookman said the only thing the casino offered her was a steak dinner.
The New York State Gaming Commission said Bookman's slot machine malfunctioned. "Malfunctions void all pays and plays," a warning states on all the slot machines in the casino.
The gaming commission said Bookman was only entitled to her winnings: just $2.25.
The slot machine was pulled immediately after the incident, fixed, and put back out on the casino floor, according to the gaming commission.
I would sue them too tbh, why the **** did this just get let go like this??? Obviously they just don't want to pay her that much money, so say it's a malfunction. ANYONE can do this, it seems.
If she wins the suit, she might end up getting more.
But more importantly she really needs to sue them. She won, and she deserves the prize money!
They really need to pay her up.
MALFUNCTION? YEAH RIGHT. If she doesn't sue, that casino will use the same excuse for the next legitimate winner.
