Casinos Stop Paying Out Jackpots: “It’s a software glitch”

Life & World


Let me get this straight… it’s fine for you to walk into a casino and gamble away your earnings because you are a consenting adult. The casinos have NO responsibility to warn you or tell you about machines that have “software glitches” or put a disclaimer anywhere stating that there is a X% chance that you won’t get paid if you win… but as soon as you DO hit the jackpot, they walk out and tell you “Sorry, we aren’t going to pay you, it was a software glitch.

I just want to point out, that is the 3rd story on Digg recently about Casinos doing that, this seems to be a trend. Ok show me the glitch. Do you have your systems audited? Do the creators of the software provide any insurance or guarantee against this? They probably do, so PAY ME.

I think this is all a scam and should be illegal. If there is a glitch, that is what insurance is for; that is what audits are for; that is what testing is for. Don’t tell me AFTER I won that WOOPS, it’s a glitch. Bitch, please.

    What I have learned from this story: if I am going to gamble, I will use dice or cards instead of computer software. Oh, and I will do so in Vegas where I have a bit more faith in their gaming commission.
