Re: Very unlucky luck
Of course she can, but the probability of winning any award at law is probably is as small as the probability of winning the jackpot. Casinos are cash cows for politicians and benefit from their protection in the way laws are written. The casinos, if sued, are likely to bring the slot machine manufacturers into the lawsuit and they are likely to have industry associations with excellent legal counsel.HansV wrote:Can't she sue the casino?
Yes, she can sue. But, I doubt very seriously that she can get anything from it. More likely is that the industry will find a way to give her some compensation without publicity and without admitting any fault.

The casino should let her roll the dice to see if she can double her money.

...and if she wins, they'd say the winnings are double $10, not double $8 million.

Re: Very unlucky luck
I'm with the "high" roller on this. If it said that much on the win board, that's what she should get. Tough luck for the casino for once!
