Casino Denies Man Jackpot
A Casino in Florida denied a man his jackpot win claiming the machine malfunctioned.
Bill Seebeck was playing at The Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Tampa, Florida when all of a sudden the machine starts ringing and he thought he was set for life but then the Casino people come saying it was all a malfunction and they aren’t paying him a penny.
However recently a news update says that Seebeck has come to an agreement with the casino.
The Seminole Hard Rock Casino Tampa has made an offer to William Seebeck, and he has accepted, recognizing that the slot machine he was playing on Sunday malfunctioned, in what can be best described to the layman as a “computer glitch.” The maximum payout on the Ultimate Party Spin machine played by Seebeck is $99,000, although his bet of $1.50 at the time of the malfunction could have generated a maximum payout of only $2,500, with the right combination. Determination of a malfunction was made by representatives of the machine’s manufacturer and software provider, according to established gaming industry standards, with confirmation from an independent third-party laboratory analysis. The casino has opted to settle this matter for an undisclosed amount as a good faith gesture, and we look forward to welcoming Mr. Seebeck on future visits.
