/rereads/ You know what? Now I want $92.4 million. -- nm - dyslexic woman Mar 31, 12:03
or: "Woman sees $42.9 payout on the screen, clearly in error according to the machine and posted rules but demands it all anyways" -- nm - oblique Mar 31, 12:01 1

Law suit time. -- nm - Kick Ass Mar 31, 12:00
I agree with the casinos there -- nm - G.waa.h Mar 31, 11:56
I don't see why they aren't obligated to give her the posted prize. -- nm - mara Mar 31, 11:55 9
- Sucks for the lady, but sounds like the casino is in the right. - musubi Mar 31, 12:03 2
  - It's not even clear that she won anything, even the top prize. The machine could have simply malfunctioned and she actually won nothing - oblique Mar 31, 12:06 1

    - I can see the payout amount being disputed but if the machine shows a win then there should be no dispute of that. -- nm - zork Mar 31, 12:12 1
      - What it says and what the slot wheels show are two very different things. If the wheels were in a winning position, great, but it could also have - oblique Mar 31, 12:13
