Woman wins $410,000 but casino refuses payout
-
The casino have no legal rights to refuse payouts, even if it was indeed a malfunction.
In Singapore, there had been cases of Singapore Pools printing out scratch-it cards and lottery slips with mistakes, resulting in the gambler winning. Even though it was their mistake, the bet had been placed, a transaction has been made, and thus the operator is legally responsible to deliver what they have sold.
Same too for the casino. The woman had inserted her token. the machine(the casino), has accepted the chip, and that completes the transaction. The casino is legally responsible to ensure that their equipment and machines are functioning properly. If it shows that she won $400k, even when she might have actually only won $50k, they are still responsible for delivering their promise of a $400k payout.
If going by their logic, since the machine has malfunctioned, and therefore making the woman's claims invalid, then it would also have made all the bets they collected from all the gaming machines invalid, as malfunction = unfairness, and that means the previous gamblers could have been cheated off their money by a malfunctioning machine.
And since all the machines are connected to a system, malfunctioning of a single machine will also mean that there's something wrong with all the other machines connected on the system. And hence, if they refuse to pay the woman, all the previous gamblers who have played on the machines have the rights to refunds from MBS.

If it is confirmed MBS is not allowing them to win the money , i suggest the gambler goes round telling this truth to as many people as possible , bring down the reputation of MBS.

Jackpot machine players beware, you are all playing with malfunctioning machines. No issue if you lose, but should the machine indicate a jackpot, you have been warned.

Is this legal? Sounds like a con job. -

haha....in law cases, lawyers would cite past precedents to defend a similar case. some cases could date back to 1800s..hurray ! let's unite and support the auntie!
-
dont understand why MBS is not acknowledging the claim. its not like they cannot afford.
surely they know it negative publicity to MBS. anything bad to MBS is good to genting and vice versa.
pay and move on lah.
-
pay and move on, plus now must say sorry
-
the woman shd fight 到底
-
The woman is just a commoner and not some rich businessman who can employed lawyers to sue them for more damages.
They did not expect the woman to be so stubborn and insisted on the exact payout.
I guess they have made a wrong approach in this case.
Operation "Empty MBS"

Sierra Mike Lima Juliet 'malfunction'?
Even if there's a true malfunction, then MBS should still pay out the full amount, and then take the manufacturer to court to recover their costs.
As much as I detest gambling and the way the woman won her winnings, I would like to see the woman take MBS to court and sue their pants off for the full amount plus legal expenses and compensation for psychological suffering.
Well done, MBS. All you have done is to smack yourself in the face.
-
win ppl's money every second no malfunction.
ppl win money then malfunction.
wow. wat kind of odds?
-
arent casinos protected by the mafias?italians?
-
and u bet they have re-programmed the machines so tt nobardie will be able to win any jackpot prizes until this case is being 4gotten, or won, or lost.
so those going to MBS, pls switch to play baccarat or blackjack or roulette
-
At least RWS honour their jackpot wins, so far got 4 or 7 already, take the lamborghini gallardo, or cash out for less. Dunno when my turn, sigh.

People of the world, be courageous, dare to fight, defy difficulties and advance wave upon wave.
Then the whole world will belong to the people.
Monsters of all kinds shall be destroyed.

The U.S. imperialist armed aggression against the Congo (Leopoldville) is a very grave matter.
It imposed the puppet Tshombe on the Congolese people, and dispatched mercenary troops to suppress the Congolese national liberation movement.
And now, it is carrying out direct armed intervention in the Congo in collusion with Belgium and Britain.
In so doing, the purpose of U.S. imperialism is not only to control the Congo, but also to enmesh the whole of Africa, particularly the newly independent African countries, in the toils of U.S. neo-colonialism once again.
U.S. aggression has encountered heroic resistance from the Congolese people and aroused the indignation of the people of Africa and of the whole world.
The United States has all along attempted to control the Congo. It used the United Nations forces to carry out every sort of evil deed there.
It murdered the Congolese national hero Lumumba, it subverted the lawful Congolese government.
On 17 January, 1961, Patrice Lumumba, Congo's first prime minister, was assassinated by the Belgian and CIA surrogates.The whole non-alignment movement erupted in anger. Ho proudly remembered his part in a mass protest rally.All 7,000 of them were chanting: Lumumba! Lumumba! in the Singapore Badminton Hall. Singaporeans then had a keen sense of history and geography.He was an internationalist who loved his country. He believed you cannot be a patriot unless you supported every people's struggle for justice and equality.At the same time, he had no time for the vague 'citizen of the world' grounded in no concrete place. You ended up 'neither here nor there' rather than being 'both here and there'. That would be the height of irresponsibility. -
