A woman from Las Vegas is in a heated battle with a popular casino after they allegedly refused to pay out a whopping $1.2 million jackpot she won while playing on a slot machine.
The incident occurred at the renowned Bellagio hotel and casino, where the woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, hit the jackpot while playing a progressive slot machine. The machine, which had been accumulating a substantial jackpot for some time, finally hit when the woman happened to be in the right place at the right time.
In an interview with local news outlets, the woman expressed her shock and excitement at winning such a large sum of money. “I couldn’t believe it when the machine started flashing and ringing, indicating that I had won the jackpot. It was a surreal moment,” she said.
However, her joy quickly turned to frustration when casino officials informed her that they would not be paying out the full amount of the jackpot. According to the woman, the casino claimed that there was a malfunction with the machine at the time of the win, and therefore, they were not obligated to pay the full amount.
The woman has since hired an attorney to help her fight for the full payout. “I played by the rules and won fair and square. The casino should honor their commitment to pay out the jackpot,” she stated.
In a statement, the Bellagio maintained that they are investigating the incident and working to resolve the issue with the woman. “We take the integrity of our gaming machines very seriously and are conducting a thorough review of the situation. We will work with the customer to reach a resolution,” the statement read.
Meanwhile, the woman has vowed to continue fighting for her rightful winnings. “I won that jackpot fair and square, and I am not going to let the casino cheat me out of it,” she declared.
The case has garnered significant attention in the local community, with many expressing support for the woman and criticizing the casino for their reluctance to pay out the full jackpot. As the battle continues to unfold, it remains to be seen whether the woman will ultimately receive the $1.2 million jackpot she rightfully won.
