If a “malfunction” voids a win, then the casino should be required to repay all money taken in since the last time it can proven the machine was working correctly.
Just to be fair though, it does state that malfunctions do void a win/wins; however, this has happened to a Wheel of Fortune machine before, so she may have a case

As someone who has worked with slot machines, that “malfunction” is the oldest line in the book. They thought they can intimidate her but they were wrong.
they always find the glitches they just don't post about it because it doesn't get good views, but I've seen plenty of casino youtubers have same issues. They just didn't sue the casinos cause they knew it wasn't a legit win and moved on and won 3x that amount later down the line.
@@SouthJerseyBaitReviews , not a big gambler, I’d rather play blackjack or craps the rare times I do. Just seems odd that a machine connected to the casino network, and ‘should’ be monitoring for failures, always goes only one way.

Let me just say I am from Nevada and not New Jersey. 1. For the most part, the machines that offer 6-8 figure jackpots are leased to the casino by the slot manufacturer. These are called Wide Area Progressives. 2. While there would be an inspection by the casino, ultimately it should have been IGT making the call, not Bally’s. As it is told, it is not clear why IGT wasn’t the one to tell her she lost. 3. If you’re in Nevada and the dispute is over $500, the casino MUST call gaming. 4. Jackpots typically aren’t multiplied by any multiplier generally, so the 2x is immaterial. 5. Also every slot keeps a record of the last 10-100 spins.
I’m kind of curious how she thought she won. According to the wheel of fortune from the video , that 2x looks like it applies to a wheel spin, and that there’s a jackpot wedge. So I’m curious did an actual wheel spin occur and land on a jackpot wedge , or if the bonus feature even initiate. I don’t know if this version is where you can also land three wheel of fortune symbols on line 1 for the progressive, but judging by how she said there was a 2x wild symbol, I assume that didn’t happen
Did you listen to the way the lady described the win in the video? Have you ever played a Wheel of Fortune slot? She never said "I lined up all three wheel of fortune symbols on the payline" for a reason. She knows it was a glitch and so does her lawyer. They are both just hoping to drum up enough bad publicity to generate some kind of settlement.
Do machine malfunctions ever happen in a players favor. Where casino employees tell a player there was a machine malfunction and they should have won a jackpot? Or do the malfunctions always happen when a player wins a jackpot?
Read Bob Nersesian's book "The Law for Gamblers: A Legal Guide to the Casino Environment". He talks about a situation wherein a woman was screwed out of a slot jackpot due to a human programming error, i.e., some dude pressed the wrong button on the keyboard (and the casino tried to call it a machine malfunction)
But, these "malfunctions", only seem to occur win someone wins!!! They might have an argument if there were ever a case where a player was payed when it should have hit! G ME A BREAK! Pay the woman!!! Bunch of liars!!!

Isn’t the slot machine manufacturer supposed to verify the large win? IGT tech should’ve been there, not some random slot attendant inside the machine allegedly pressing things.
IGT techs are not at the casino. Also the way she stated things went the machine was displaying a reel tile error not a hand pay stoppage. Which is a malfunction, which voids pays. The tilt will be cleared and the machine will resume its reel action back to its pre determined spin soon as it’s cleared. If it was a hand pay stoppage for the WAP yes a igt tech would be contacted to come and verify the win. I’ve done this 2 times at my job. I fix reel tilts on a daily basis. It’s a basic error.
@@ryanlewis5072would a wheel tilt cause an out of sequence error? Or can they cause a legitimate sequence that isn't supposed to happen? I would invision someone hitting like a x5 line hit, the machine saying they won 500x and then saying tilt error. Her machine landed a wheel bonus symbol, then went up to the wheel spin, performed the full bonus spin, landed on jackpot, and then said winner, and the correct amount. Idk how you could expect anyone to just let that go?
@@MrKarma21 the tilt can happen on the wheel bonus as well. I doubt it said winner. People fabricate man. They are gamblers after all. When they tilt happens on the wheel spin up top it can land on anything but it won’t award anything. It will simply just stop there and then go into a tilt error. She did not win anything legitimately. She probably had some random stranger walking by hyping her up saying omg you won the jackpot because it landed on the jackpot symbol after the reel tilt on the bonus spin. I highly advise you follow up with this because by law with a customer complaint the casino has to shut the machine down for gaming division to come investigate the potential error or win.
There is no multiplier on wide area progressive jackpots. If she says the machine indicated one, then she's effectively admitting that it was in fact a glitch.
Her hitting the service button was a huge mistake. When you hit a handpay jackpot, all the section attendants are notified automatically and come over to process your win. A slot mechanic opening up the machine could ruin this lady's case, but if she is telling the truth I hope IGT gets the smack down again on this. Shameful.
If the machine wasn’t working right why were people allowed to put there money in it? And if any one knew slots could be tilted why even play them? Why wouldn’t it be tilted on a smaller win? Why wouldn’t the slot technician take his own pictures and prove there was a problem? But even if they could prove it why hadn’t it been fixed? Why hadn’t the machine been tested? And how does a machine like that tilt? It’s the casinos responsibility to pay it out or whoever is responsible for managing the machines. They are still responsible for the outcome. I don’t think I will ever play at Bally’s casinos now. What a bunch of crap they already have a license to steal and now when the lady wins they tell her to bad. Not only do they need to pay her but at the least they should be fined or someone incarcerated. What happens when you steal from a casino you go to jail. Well if casino/casinos try to steel from an average customer they should be jailed as well.
This casino should convert to the 90's era arcade rooms where your prizes are 1,000 gold tokens or tickets. They'll probably not throw a fit over meaningless contraband lol
I've played Wheel of Fortune multiple times. To get the 1.2 million, you have to play at the progressive level. She was playing 9 lines on the minimum bet, which does not qualify for the progressive jackpot. Most of the machines will tell you what the minimum bet is to qualify for the progressive. In addition, she stated she pushed the service button because if it was a jackpot, there would not be a need since a call attendant with the amount of the hand pay won would've been on the screen alerting them to go to that machine. It stinks that these machines void on malfunctions. It's play at your own risk.
This happened at my tribes casino in oregon some one hit for a million a the company out of Vegas came said it was a glitch a didn’t pay. Our casino paid for her attorney
They better pay her. When her story gets infront of a jury, 72yr old heart attack survivor, going to use some of the money to help a long troubled son, they are going to wish $2.56m is all they had to pay.
Does she look like the type to have a smartphone or be able to use one? Let's use some critical thinking here, she had to be told she won the jackpot. 🙄
Yep and it’s always with someone winning. These casinos are scam and people should boycott them. I’ve seen all these technical issues with people winning and never anyone losing. Always the “malfunction” excuse.
Glitch my butt. It's so rare for the machine to hit the jackpot and when it does it's no glitch. There should be a law that makes them pay the winner let the vendor and casino fight it out in court and have their respective insurance pay. The onus is on them not the player.
No glitch for taking your cash... Now you hit a million and a glitch was detected.... How convenient.... Best thing is to do is put it in the news.... the bad rep and revenue loss will force them to pay.
This happened to me in Atlantic City It was about 2 am and i hit the jac,kpot i dont remember the amount but it was large as soon as i won the machine turned off , a security came over and told. me the machine was broken , i told him i won , he said nope . There was no one else around , and i didnt know any one to call . I didnt have a cell phone so i couldn't film it . I never play the Large slot machines anymore , why would i give my money to something thats Rigged .
Why would she hit the service button? Every time you win an amount on a slot machine higher than $1,999 it gets locked out and “call attendant” shows up on the screen, but really you don’t have to call the attendant because after the machine locks out it automatically triggers the blinking light on top of the machine and also I believe the slot attendant is automatically alerted that a jackpot was hit as well. That way the attendant knows that he or she needs to come over and give you a hand pay. Obviously this wouldn’t have just been a simple hand pay. It would have been much more special but the same techniques should have been in place. All I know is that I’ve hit many jackpots and gotten handpays and have never pressed the service button.
attendants busy on the phone with IGT trying to figure out how to NOT pay the lady? according to the lady's story: the machine was clearly alerting the jackpot win. Where's the casino floor videos?
@@beepbop6697 Probably asked her not to film. If Vegas Matt, Mr Hand Pay or NG had won that they each would have filmed the entire session. In fact there’s a 6 minute video of Mr Hand Pay winning over 1 million somewhere and his entire session was filmed and you can still watch it. I actually asked him a couple questions and he answered me. One was how did they pay him and he said they paid him by check right on the casino floor. The only possible difference could have been that he won his massive jackpot in front of a huge audience and he’s a TH-cam influencer and she’s a nobody.
It is fair to think this but from her story, it sounds like the error happened when the machine went to call for the attendant. All events prior could've been legitimate.... No way they should've touched the machine and cleared it. Seems very suspect, even if it was a true malfunction from the start of her spin
Most machines have it stated in their rules that the multiplier doesn't apply to the jackpot(s), if that was the case she would get the 1.2 million and not double that. Either way it is hard to believe that the machine malfunctioned and in the way it malfunctioned was displaying winning the jackpot and not any other type of a win. It would be rarer to get a reel tilt showing a jackpot than actually winning the jackpot itself.
This is why I go to the casino just to get entertained not expecting to become a millionaire off a machine that’s designed and built to take you’re money,also always record big wins RECORD EVERYTHING just like they do
The end said the casino says it’s igt and not them. No, your slot tech came over and tampered with the machine. No one should gamble there. You’re money isn’t safe
Same thing happened at Philly park's grand opening on route 1 in Delaware county back in '06. Was declared a "computer glitch." They offered the winner comps.
For anyone not familiar with slot machines - there are signs that say a malfunction invalidates a win. You don't press a service button when you win - the floor attendants are notified of hand pays electronically and the light on top of the machine goes off. Just like pin ball machines tilt - so do slot machines. I've seen big payouts - the machine malfunctioned.
Welp, if Bally's wants to take that position "We just house the machines..." I guess I will go to a different house. You know, one with integrity and one that doesn't stick to "disclaimers" as their idea of customer service. Shame on them!
she is obviously not capable of tampering with the machine so the casino should pay up - any dispute over malfunction should be between them and igt... I know all casinos are broke in which case they're taking customer funds under false pretences.
Lol notice how they wont show her bet line in the pictures they show?? she was not even playing the max bet needed to hit the jackpot, she wont get anything but lawyer dept trying to beat IGT in court.
I saw that happen many years ago in Vegas, a woman won the jackpot, but they told her the machine malfunctioned and didn’t pay her. I never played again. What a scam.
So the term "tilt" no longer means tilt. It's just a term the casino can use to void a payout. With machines that run on software, that are heavy, attached to the ground and neighboring machines, how can you have a tilt in absence of a major earthquake?
Casinos do that all the time . They disable the machines . I have sat in five different machines in one night and evertime to sat one they disable them .
Any Casino that refuses to honor jackpot winnings that was fairly won should lose their gambling licence if they do not honor the payment within a certain period of time. Else they could treat every jackpot as a "malfunction" and make people waste their time and money in court.
MGM is the same as Bally’s casino very corrupt. Here in Northfield, Ohio. It was hard rock casino excellent casino good pay outs staff was wonderful. MGM took it over a few years ago. Payouts are horrendous now. You might win one and 100 times if you go there. Horrific place for payouts.

@@MrKarma21 the tilt can happen on the wheel bonus as well. I doubt it said winner. People fabricate man. They are gamblers after all. When they tilt happens on the wheel spin up top it can land on anything but it won’t award anything. It will simply just stop there and then go into a tilt error. She did not win anything legitimately. She probably had some random stranger walking by hyping her up saying omg you won the jackpot because it landed on the jackpot symbol after the reel tilt on the bonus spin. I highly advise you follow up with this because by law with a customer complaint the casino has to shut the machine down for gaming division to come investigate the potential error or win.
She should get punitive damages along with the $1.2 million x the multiplier.
There is no multiplier on wide area progressive jackpots. If she says the machine indicated one, then she's effectively admitting that it was in fact a glitch.
Her hitting the service button was a huge mistake. When you hit a handpay jackpot, all the section attendants are notified automatically and come over to process your win. A slot mechanic opening up the machine could ruin this lady's case, but if she is telling the truth I hope IGT gets the smack down again on this. Shameful.
So technically they’ve been stealing money from patrons knowing very well the machines are tilted. Shut these casinos down immediately!!
If the machine wasn’t working right why were people allowed to put there money in it? And if any one knew slots could be tilted why even play them? Why wouldn’t it be tilted on a smaller win? Why wouldn’t the slot technician take his own pictures and prove there was a problem? But even if they could prove it why hadn’t it been fixed? Why hadn’t the machine been tested? And how does a machine like that tilt? It’s the casinos responsibility to pay it out or whoever is responsible for managing the machines. They are still responsible for the outcome. I don’t think I will ever play at Bally’s casinos now. What a bunch of crap they already have a license to steal and now when the lady wins they tell her to bad. Not only do they need to pay her but at the least they should be fined or someone incarcerated. What happens when you steal from a casino you go to jail. Well if casino/casinos try to steel from an average customer they should be jailed as well.
These casinos need to be shutdown because they can claim that all winning slots are malfunctions.
I would be so sick 😫☹️🥺 so that money was not meant to ever pay out???? Just give it to her omg
This casino should convert to the 90's era arcade rooms where your prizes are 1,000 gold tokens or tickets. They'll probably not throw a fit over meaningless contraband lol
Casinos are corrupt, pay the money and get rid of the machine!
I've played Wheel of Fortune multiple times. To get the 1.2 million, you have to play at the progressive level. She was playing 9 lines on the minimum bet, which does not qualify for the progressive jackpot. Most of the machines will tell you what the minimum bet is to qualify for the progressive. In addition, she stated she pushed the service button because if it was a jackpot, there would not be a need since a call attendant with the amount of the hand pay won would've been on the screen alerting them to go to that machine. It stinks that these machines void on malfunctions. It's play at your own risk.
I don't doubt your story at all but how do you know she was playing the minimum bet?
@@rs3018 i was just wondering the same thing
I stopped the video when she landed the bonus, and it shows 9 lines, and the bet was 1 being a $9 bet.
@@amircruz3893 👍
Good observation! I didn't bother to look at the lines played or the denomination. Most definitely she needs to be playing max to get that jackpot.
This happened at my tribes casino in oregon some one hit for a million a the company out of Vegas came said it was a glitch a didn’t pay. Our casino paid for her attorney
This is why i love watching big casino heists where the "bad guys" find ways to cheat the casinos 😂
🤑
THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS !!!
I wont be going to that casino
well dont go to any casino because those large jackpots are always paid out by the manufacture of the machine and not the casino dumb dumb!
Don't go to any casino, they are all evil vampires wanting to suck every last dollar you got into their pockets.
TO ME BALLY'S HAS BECOME THE WORST CASINO IN ATLANTIC CITY!!!! I WILL BE STAYING AWAY FROM THERE 💯💯💯💯
Just take pictures so you have proof!!!!
I’ve never seen one of these machines say it malfunctioned and have them give you money back.
They better pay her. When her story gets infront of a jury, 72yr old heart attack survivor, going to use some of the money to help a long troubled son, they are going to wish $2.56m is all they had to pay.
If that is the actual photo of when she was “supposed” to have won the jackpot, then it’s obviously clear she did not. Nothing lined up. No win
Did she take pictures or video of the win on the screen??? I would have!
Does she look like the type to have a smartphone or be able to use one? Let's use some critical thinking here, she had to be told she won the jackpot. 🙄
Bro whys there seemingly ALWAYS an issue regarding gambling payouts 😂
Think about how many casinos there are with tons of players playing all day everyday. It makes sense that there'd be glitches.
on the over all scale there is actually very few problems with jackpot payouts
@Reimu-Shrine-Maiden bro it's "malfunctioned" in every instance this has occurred in the news. It's fraud plain and simple
Yep and it’s always with someone winning. These casinos are scam and people should boycott them. I’ve seen all these technical issues with people winning and never anyone losing. Always the “malfunction” excuse.
@@nadiab7764 would lack o funds for the payout be possible ?
I 'll refuse to go there in protest.
Sue them for double.
Glitch my butt. It's so rare for the machine to hit the jackpot and when it does it's no glitch. There should be a law that makes them pay the winner let the vendor and casino fight it out in court and have their respective insurance pay. The onus is on them not the player.
Bally's never had the funds to pay her.
Time to boycott Bally's!
It's funny how it Tilts when a enormous jackpot is hit but never does on a losing spin. Gtfo.
Just throw your money out the car window halfway to the casino, turn around and save some gas.
People, these videos are NOT the actual video of this hit......these are just pics and vids of other slots getting fixed and examples....
As a Las Vegas resident I have not ever heard of a "reel tilt" in a slot machine
I don't understand how she does not have any video of this, or at least a picture?
No glitch for taking your cash...
Now you hit a million and a glitch was detected....
How convenient....
Best thing is to do is put it in the news.... the bad rep and revenue loss will force them to pay.
It’s all a scam. Don’t waste your money!
We pay up no questions asked YOU PAY UP NO QUESTIONS
This happened to me in Atlantic City
It was about 2 am and i hit the jac,kpot i dont remember the amount but it was large as soon as i won the machine turned off , a security came over and told. me the machine was broken , i told him i won , he said nope . There was no one else around , and i didnt know any one to call . I didnt have a cell phone so i couldn't film it . I never play the Large slot machines anymore , why would i give my money to something thats Rigged .
Why would she hit the service button? Every time you win an amount on a slot machine higher than $1,999 it gets locked out and “call attendant” shows up on the screen, but really you don’t have to call the attendant because after the machine locks out it automatically triggers the blinking light on top of the machine and also I believe the slot attendant is automatically alerted that a jackpot was hit as well. That way the attendant knows that he or she needs to come over and give you a hand pay. Obviously this wouldn’t have just been a simple hand pay. It would have been much more special but the same techniques should have been in place. All I know is that I’ve hit many jackpots and gotten handpays and have never pressed the service button.
attendants busy on the phone with IGT trying to figure out how to NOT pay the lady?
according to the lady's story: the machine was clearly alerting the jackpot win.
Where's the casino floor videos?
@@beepbop6697
Probably asked her not to film. If Vegas Matt, Mr Hand Pay or NG had won that they each would have filmed the entire session. In fact there’s a 6 minute video of Mr Hand Pay winning over 1 million somewhere and his entire session was filmed and you can still watch it. I actually asked him a couple questions and he answered me. One was how did they pay him and he said they paid him by check right on the casino floor. The only possible difference could have been that he won his massive jackpot in front of a huge audience and he’s a TH-cam influencer and she’s a nobody.
It is fair to think this but from her story, it sounds like the error happened when the machine went to call for the attendant. All events prior could've been legitimate.... No way they should've touched the machine and cleared it. Seems very suspect, even if it was a true malfunction from the start of her spin
Sue them to return all the money that machine took since it was last inspected.
That is aweful!!!!! Pay the lady and get the cameras as proof
Yeah hell no give that lady her money
so when you lose , its not malfunction?
When will people learn? Even if you win at gambling, you lose.
This is terrible makes you lose all confidence and casinos
I bet many casino employees hate when someone wins huge like that. They think everyone who goes there are just losers forever.
WOW. I GUESS I WILL STAY AWAY FROM IGT MACHINES BALLYS AND HARRAHS AT THESE LOCATIONS! THANKS I TEAM
Most machines have it stated in their rules that the multiplier doesn't apply to the jackpot(s), if that was the case she would get the 1.2 million and not double that. Either way it is hard to believe that the machine malfunctioned and in the way it malfunctioned was displaying winning the jackpot and not any other type of a win. It would be rarer to get a reel tilt showing a jackpot than actually winning the jackpot itself.
Same thing happened to me!!! Totally messed off
how much did you suppose to win did they tell you the same thing malfunction
We need to make this go viral. What a travesty!! Prayers for the dear woman.
They need to pay
This is why I go to the casino just to get entertained not expecting to become a millionaire off a machine that’s designed and built to take you’re money,also always record big wins RECORD EVERYTHING just like they do
She’s my cousin!! She’s always loved going to the casino and has had a home machine at home for years. Shes such a sweet woman
The end said the casino says it’s igt and not them. No, your slot tech came over and tampered with the machine. No one should gamble there. You’re money isn’t safe
Same thing happened at Philly park's grand opening on route 1 in Delaware county back in '06. Was declared a "computer glitch." They offered the winner comps.
For anyone not familiar with slot machines - there are signs that say a malfunction invalidates a win. You don't press a service button when you win - the floor attendants are notified of hand pays electronically and the light on top of the machine goes off. Just like pin ball machines tilt - so do slot machines. I've seen big payouts - the machine malfunctioned.
First off as a gambler you cannot win the 1.2 on the wheel spin it’s on the baseline pay
Why are all of these machines not required to go through a daily procedure to insure they are working correctly?
Shut that casino down. They never have an issue or “reel tilt” when it comes to taking your money. Dumbest argument, ever lol.
Bally's never had the funds to pay her.
Welp, if Bally's wants to take that position "We just house the machines..." I guess I will go to a different house. You know, one with integrity and one that doesn't stick to "disclaimers" as their idea of customer service. Shame on them!
she is obviously not capable of tampering with the machine so the casino should pay up - any dispute over malfunction should be between them and igt... I know all casinos are broke in which case they're taking customer funds under false pretences.
They take your money no ands butts or ors but when you win, they don’t wanna give it back
Sounds like she has a strong case.
I’ve been going to Atlantic City since 1987. I’ve never hit a jackpot.
Try vegas
You’re kidding…what are you doing? Betting $.50 a spin?
Lol notice how they wont show her bet line in the pictures they show?? she was not even playing the max bet needed to hit the jackpot, she wont get anything but lawyer dept trying to beat IGT in court.
The only thing legitimate about that day is the photograph at 1:26 -- everything else is just b-roll footage.
that doesn't surprised me they always say that when people win a big jackpot no matter where or which casino
This is why I don't play slots. If they can "malfunction", they can also be manipulated. If I'm going to lose money, it will be at the BJ table.
Looks like precedent was established With Jacque...The Saying "Crime doesn't pay" refers to criminals not paying what they owe...
Wow yes sue them
I saw this happen before - those machines tilt exactly at the right moment - they're entirely run on computer chips
I saw that happen many years ago in Vegas, a woman won the jackpot, but they told her the machine malfunctioned and didn’t pay her.
I never played again. What a scam.
and when you lose they work perfectly how convinient is that
So the term "tilt" no longer means tilt. It's just a term the casino can use to void a payout. With machines that run on software, that are heavy, attached to the ground and neighboring machines, how can you have a tilt in absence of a major earthquake?
What a load of crap! Pay her and they should be also pay penalties for causing grief to this patron
‘Lady you’re a millionaire..’
IRS.. Nope.
God bless this woman, save her from the greedy demons of New Jersey. Amen ✊
They aren't in business for you to win. They are in the business of separating your money from you.
The casino must pay!
Casinos do that all the time . They disable the machines . I have sat in five different machines in one night and evertime to sat one they disable them .
Pay the Lady‼️
Any Casino that refuses to honor jackpot winnings that was fairly won should lose their gambling licence if they do not honor the payment within a certain period of time. Else they could treat every jackpot as a "malfunction" and make people waste their time and money in court.
MGM is the same as Bally’s casino very corrupt. Here in Northfield, Ohio. It was hard rock casino excellent casino good pay outs staff was wonderful. MGM took it over a few years ago. Payouts are horrendous now. You might win one and 100 times if you go there. Horrific place for payouts.
