Slot Machine Malfunction Makes Woman Believe She Won $43 Million – Casino Offers Steak Dinner Instead

Most of us have made peace with the fact that we’re not going to win millions of dollars, so it’s not too much of an emotional burden when that does not indeed happen. Katrina Bookman of Jamaica, Queens, New York , encountered a different kind of emotional dynamic, though, when a malfunctioning video slot machine told her she’d won a $43 million jackpot .

According to WABC in New York, Bookman isn’t really in a laugh-it-off kind of mood about the mistake, especially since Resorts World Casino, where the malfunction happened, ended up deciding to offer her nothing more than a free steak dinner. In video taken by Bookman’s partner, viewers can see the chaos that erupted around her after the machine made its faulty display. She was whisked off the floor by casino security and told to come back the next day for a ruling on the incident, which ended up being not in her favor. Her attorney, Alan Ripka, puts it simply:
“They win and the house doesn’t want to pay out. To me that’s unfair. The machine takes your money when you lose. It ought to pay it when you win.”
