In a stunning turn of events, a woman from New Jersey has come forward with claims that an Atlantic City casino is refusing to pay out a seven-figure jackpot that she won on a slot machine. The woman, who has chosen to remain anonymous for the time being, says that she hit the jackpot while playing at the Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City.
According to the woman, she hit the jackpot after playing on a slot machine for several hours. She was ecstatic to see the reels line up in her favor, and she couldn’t believe her luck when she realized that she had won over one million dollars. However, her excitement quickly turned to frustration when casino staff informed her that they were unable to pay out the full amount of her winnings.
The woman claims that casino officials told her that there had been a malfunction with the slot machine, which caused it to display incorrect jackpot amounts. They allegedly offered her a much smaller sum as a consolation prize, but she refused to accept their offer. She believes that the casino is trying to cheat her out of her rightful winnings, and she has enlisted the help of a lawyer to investigate the matter further.
WPVI-TV has reached out to the Ocean Casino Resort for a statement on the situation, but they have not yet responded to our request for comment. The New Jersey Gaming Enforcement Division has also been made aware of the situation, and they have launched an investigation into the incident. They are working to determine whether or not the casino is withholding the woman’s winnings unfairly.
This is not the first time that a casino has been accused of refusing to pay out a jackpot to a lucky winner. In the past, there have been several high-profile cases where casinos have tried to avoid paying out large sums of money to jackpot winners. However, in most cases, the casinos have been forced to honor their commitments and pay out the full amount of the jackpot.
It remains to be seen how this situation will unfold, but the woman is determined to fight for her winnings and seek justice for what she believes is an unfair situation. WPVI-TV will continue to follow this story as it develops and provide updates as new information becomes available.
