Nah if this was me I’d be piss somebody paying me at least 5 Million..What would you do?
Katrina Bookman flashed her multi-million dollar smile as a slot machine screen appeared to show evidence of her mega win.
She was surrounded by customers, casino personnel and security who later Escorted her off the casino floor, she was told to come back the next day for the decision.
Bookman said the only thing the casino offered her was a steak dinner.
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.
“They win and the house doesn’t want to pay out. To me that’s unfair,” Alan Ripka, Bookman’s attorney said.
Ripka and Bookman believe she should win the maximum allowed on the Sphinx machine, which the casino said is $6,500.
“The machine takes your money when you lose. It ought to pay it when you win,” Ripka stated.
“I feel I should win the max and I will treat him to a steak dinner,” Bookman said.
According to the gaming commission, the casino could not legally award the max pay-out.
The gaming commission said Bookman was only entitled to her winnings: just $2.25.
