Further, that cabinet can be set to 'kick out' tickets at $3,000 or $5,000 in the machine. That is, if you stick $3,000 in a machine, bet $1 and win 5, it'll automatically spit a ticket out for $4 if set at $3,000. Its very, very clearly a malfunction and she'll lose any lawsuit for sure, no questions asked.

I can see how this is frustrating for a player, but the contracted payment was right there on the glass.
If the machine did display the progressive then they should be on the hook for the million dollars. I’d also like to know their control procedures to understand who exactly touched the machine, if anyone else signed off on the settings, if regulators were present, if GLI ever did an audit on that machine, etc. I have a hard time believing that a single person set up the machine and there was no other verification.

I agree with your comments. To me, they underscore the propriety of the Gaming Commission embracing issues of gaming fairness, as the public perception of -- or lack of -- fairness not only affects revenue of all casinos, but also revenue collected by the various government agencies.
If IGT employees screwed up, and if IGT's contract says it is responsible for actions of its employees, and if that resulted in the machine announcing to the patron, 'Somebody owes you $1M,' then the wording on this or that part of some real or implied contract may have to take a back seat to overall gaming fairness.

Sadly, that is a very likely scenario from my experiences. I know that I have set up many slot machines by myself and I am not even a slot tech.

But, if true, IMHO it underscores the importance of each and every state gaming commission keeping an eagle eye on issues involving patron fairness when payout disputes arise.

Yes, in Nevada a casino must call Nevada Gaming to investigate any disputed amount over $500. A patron can call them for any disputed amount and they will send an agent out to investigate.

As one would expect, especially in Nevada, the Gaming Capital of the country.
I take comfort knowing I can have a Mississippi gaming agent standing at my table or slot machine (usually) in less than 30 minutes if I ever feel the need. I know the agent may not see it my way, but I know I can get something resembling 'adult supervision' if warranted. And, that's as it should be.

'overall gaming fairness' is not a contract. Contracts are very difficult to break. A contract that says 'maximum $8,000 payout' in plain view of the player takes a back seat to the bowels of machine programming that someone else messed up.

So I assume the opposite applies.
If they accidentally hung a million dollar sign on a machine set to pay out $8000 max, if you hit the top prize you'd get $1 million?

We have seen situations where players were getting cheated for a while yet the casino only had to make good on the current situation and kept they the rest of the profits due to the glitches.

We kinda see this with slot tickets, the casino can keep a portion of the money on lost and expired tickets. Its absolutely outrageous and I have no idea why they would make this rule. Tickets should act like cash/chips unless they can absolutely prove there was some type of shenanigans.

I'm no big city lawyer, but that seems like a funny way for a contract to work.
