In a shocking turn of events, Star casinos across Australia have been forced to shut down their pokies machines after a major technology glitch was discovered. The glitch, which is said to have affected over 2,000 machines at various Star locations, has left many gamblers frustrated and angry.
The problem was first noticed late last night when several players reported that their pokies machines were malfunctioning. According to reports, the glitch caused the machines to repeatedly spin without the player being able to stop them, resulting in many customers losing large amounts of money.
In a statement released this morning, the Star casinos confirmed that they were aware of the issue and were working to rectify it as soon as possible. They also assured customers that all losses incurred during the glitch would be refunded.
Despite this, many players have expressed their disappointment and anger at the situation, with some threatening legal action against the casinos. One disgruntled customer, who wished to remain anonymous, stated, “I can’t believe this happened. I lost over $1,000 in just a few minutes because of the glitch. It’s unacceptable.”
In light of the situation, the Star casinos have decided to temporarily shut down all pokies machines until the glitch can be resolved. This decision has come as a blow to the casinos, as pokies are a major source of revenue for them.
In response to the shutdown, a spokesperson for the Star casinos stated, “The safety and security of our customers is our top priority. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and are working around the clock to fix the issue.”
It is unclear how long the pokies machines will be out of commission, but the Star casinos have reassured customers that they are doing everything they can to get them up and running again as soon as possible. In the meantime, many gamblers are left feeling frustrated and disappointed, wondering when they will be able to try their luck at the pokies once again.
