Regarding the Wizard's "Black List" article....
Currently, all that's posted is a story about the Stratosphere refusing
to honor an expired ticket. That has nothing to do with a casino
contesting (refusing to pay) a large jackpot.
I doubt that the Strat is contesting that the ticket was a winner.
They are just saying that, rightfully so, the ticket is no longer valid.
"....that seems to be the latest trick, to contest large payoffs."
What other recent stories or news substantiates a statement like
this (avoiding large payoffs is the casinos' latest trick)?
