A Michigan woman is outraged after she claims the MGM Grand Detroit casino refused to pay out her $127,000 jackpot, alleging that she was trespassing on the premises.
According to the woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, she had been playing on a slot machine at the popular casino for several hours when she hit the jackpot. Overjoyed at her stroke of luck, she immediately called over a casino employee to verify the win and collect her earnings.
However, the woman’s joy quickly turned to disbelief when the employee informed her that she would not be receiving her winnings. The reason? According to the casino, the woman was banned from the premises for alleged trespassing.
The woman adamantly denies these claims, stating that she has never been ordered to leave the casino or been informed that she was not welcome to gamble there. She believes that the casino’s refusal to pay out her jackpot is a ploy to avoid paying out a large sum of money.
In a statement to the media, the MGM Grand Detroit casino maintained their stance that the woman was trespassing and therefore ineligible to receive the jackpot. They claim that the woman was previously warned about her behavior and given multiple chances to leave the premises before finally being escorted out by security.
The woman’s attorney has vowed to fight the casino’s decision, stating that they have evidence to prove that his client was not trespassing at the time of her win. He also expressed his concern that this incident may be indicative of a larger issue within the casino industry, where players are unfairly denied their winnings based on unfounded accusations.
Meanwhile, the woman remains hopeful that justice will prevail and that she will eventually receive her rightful jackpot winnings. She is determined to hold the casino accountable for their actions and ensure that other players do not fall victim to similar injustices in the future.
