False Positive for Player

A land slot machine player in New Zealand, Verna Brown, had a tough break last week when the land casino informed the player that a NZ$42 million jackpot was actually a result of a malfunction. The Dunedin, New Zealand was thrilled and surprised to hit the jackpot and was equally surprised when the casino manager called in a technician to ensure check the machines for malfunction. And as much as Brown was surely exited to imagine herself an millionaire, the manager at the gambling venue was waiting on pins and needles to ensure that the payout was no where near that large – otherwise the business would surely go under!

The land slots were located at the Law Courts Hotel and generally run to fun but minor winnings for the players gambling at that venue. Brown was gambling at the slots when the machine registered a win of NZ$42 million. Brown knew that something was a bit off though when the malfunction light was flashing and there was no huge congratulations from the hotel. Brown has taken the entire process in good spirits and notes that her dreams of a millionaire life were a “brief, wonderful moment.”

This sort of situation really isn’t particularly common at the land and online casinos and gambling venues – slot and poker machines are checked regularly to ensure their software is functioning properly. Luckily for Brown there wasn’t a total loss, the hotel later contacted the winner to let her know that she had, in fact, won a jackpot of NZ$500 – not anywhere near the same sort of win but fun and useful nonetheless.
