To make matters worse, after all this effort to hook players in with a promise of a win just around the corner, it seems that casinos often don't pay up when players win big. Instead, they blame jackpots on malfunctions. Three cases of this from Ars: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/10/1-4-million-jack... https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/06/sorry-maam-you-d... https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/…
link 1: "Gambler has no right to contest non-payment because casino is on tribal land"
link 3: "there was "clearly a display malfunction" and that the machine's maximum payout was programmed for $6,500"
link 3: "the user-agreement, available on the touch screen, said the maximum payout was $10,000"
Why incomprehensible? Because you know (the latter 2) aren't really malfunctions?
