A woman from Las Vegas is speaking out against a popular casino, claiming that they are refusing to pay out a $1.2 million jackpot she won while playing slots. The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, hit the massive jackpot last month at the renowned Silver City Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
According to the woman, she was playing the popular “Mega Bucks” slot machine when all of a sudden, the screen lit up and displayed the eye-watering jackpot amount. Ecstatic and in disbelief, she immediately called over a casino attendant to verify her win. However, to her shock and dismay, the casino staff informed her that there had been a malfunction with the machine and that she would not be receiving any payout.
“I couldn’t believe it. I had just won over a million dollars and now they were telling me that I wouldn’t be getting a single penny of it. It was like a dream turned into a nightmare,” the woman told reporters.
The casino’s refusal to pay out the jackpot has sparked outrage among the gambling community and has led many to question the integrity and fairness of the establishment. Some have even accused the casino of deliberately tampering with the machine in order to avoid making the massive payout.
In response to the allegations, a spokesperson for Silver City Casino has stated that the machine in question did experience a technical glitch at the time of the woman’s win, which resulted in an incorrect jackpot display. The casino claims that they are not legally obligated to pay out any winnings from a malfunctioning machine, as stated in their terms and conditions.
“We understand that this is a disappointing situation for the player involved, but we must adhere to the rules and regulations set forth by the Nevada Gaming Control Board. It is unfortunate that this technical issue occurred, but we are not at fault for the malfunction,” the spokesperson said.
Despite the casino’s stance, the woman is not backing down and has hired legal representation to help her fight for her rightful winnings. Her lawyer has stated that they are exploring all possible legal avenues to ensure that she receives the $1.2 million jackpot that she rightfully won.
As the battle between the woman and the casino continues to unfold, many are eagerly awaiting the outcome and hoping for justice to prevail in this high-stakes dispute over a life-changing jackpot.
