The large jackpot display is meaningless and often not the actual
payoff amount, this has been well established. If the casino is
allowed to ignore the amount on the large display, it can't now claim
that in this case it is the valid amount for payoff. What counts is
the payoff displayed on the actual machine. I'm sure Gaming and IGT
will certify that the machine in question is fully functional and not
malfunctioning, the reason the jackpot was unusually large is most
likely due to a casino key operator error. Was it just a beginner's
mistake on the part of the casino key operator or was it intentional?
Doesn't the casino have procedures in place to double-check against
this type of error or potential internal fraud? After all, if you
follow the money, as it stands now the casino gets to keep all the
money won from the other gamblers who thought they were playing for a
large jackpot and doesn't have to payoff the jackpot hand. If that
precedent is allowed to stand, look for this to happen more often.
Maybe that next jackpot the casino claims is too large will be one of
yours. One million is a good test case, after all most people would
see that as rather high for penny video poker. What if it was $20,000?
