I'm not so confident in her chances of having a case. Now, I'm not too familiar with that machine, but I do know that all slots have a warning on them 'All malfunctions void payouts' or something similar on them. If the casino forked out some cash for the 'jackpot', then it may be a pitiful consolidation payment, but I can't say for sure.Machine
The machine is certainly not mechanical, you're correct. They should be able to go into the machine history and see what happened, and whether or not a legitimate win had occurred.
On a related note, I have seen 'ghost jackpots' hit before in my experience, and they were fictitious jackpots of $1,000,000+.
This feeling is heavy, makes my body ache and I'm ready; To fall into the sky and I see now, the reason why. My heart is heavy, takes me to a place I can't breathe. Only then I know why I see the warning sign.

What video? The articles in the OP indicate that she wasn't able to record anything beyond a picture, which is understandable. We have the same practices here, no pictures or videos allowed.

'She recorded the machine on her phone'. Do you say you 'record a picture'?


Ah, right. I misread the article, I was under the impression that she just snapped a shot of the machine. Regardless, video proof won't really do much for her case if the machine history says otherwise.

I would simply like to see the winning combination that gave such a prize... it's a clue to how easy it would be to say it was a malfunction or not.
