Exciting court cases from the casino world

Disagreements sometimes arise between casino operators and players. Sometimes the disagreements are even carried all the way to the court, as both players and casino operators sued the other party. We took a look at what are the most exciting cases that have made it to court so far.

Prosecution against Isle Casino Hotel

A supposedly lucky slot player believed in her big win. However, the casino operators informed her that she had not really won, as there was a malfunction in the machine. The gambler was already a proud 87 years old and caught sight of an ad on her screen promising a prize of several million dollars.

What's more, the player had almost never tried her luck at the slot machine before, which made it even more unbelievable. The slot she played could not actually pay out such high winnings. It was the Miss Kitty slot, and there is a maximum of 10 dollars in it.000 dollars to win. The casino now checked the supposed winnings and found that she had actually not even won 2 dollars.

The player subsequently sued the casino, but unfortunately lost the case. The casino operators and also the court argued that the slot was not programmed for such high winnings - very unfortunate for the player!
