Woman won USD 42 million on a slots machine, but this is the reality that she must accept
News24xx.com - What would you do if you won millions of dollars from a slot machine?
Katrina Bookman was already thinking of what she can do with her USD 42.9 million win slot machine at Resorts World Casino in New York.
“I kept thinking about my family,” Bookman said.
To commemorate her win, she smiled as she took a photo with the slot machine screen that said she had won USD 42.9 million.
But as she was about to claim her prize, the said casino claimed it was simply a glitch, and she did not really win that money.
“I said what did I win? (The casino representative said,) ‘You didn’t win nothing,'” she recalled.
To compensate her for her heartbreak, they decided to treat her to a steak dinner—a far cry from the millions she thought she owned.
The New York State Gaming Commission said Bookman’s slot machine malfunctioned. “Malfunctions void all pays and plays,” a warning states on all the slot machines in the casino.
However, Alan Ripka (Bookman’s attorney) and Bookman believe she should win the maximum allowed on the Sphinx machine, which the casino said is USD 6,500.
Alan Ripka said: “They win and they doesn’t want to pay out. To me that’s unfair. The machine takes your money when you lose. It ought to pay it when you win.”
However, the gaming commission said Bookman was only entitled to her winnings: just USD 2.25.
The slot machine was pulled immediately after the incident, fixed, and put back out on the casino floor, according to the gaming commission.
