From now on, you should ask the casino host, the dealers, and other employees if they will pay you if you win in their casino.
Here we go again. Here's, yet, another casino that is trying to get out of paying a customer that was lucky enough to actually win!

Casino refunds her $US23
Chance she still might collect
LADY Luck played a cruel trick on a gambler in Colorado when a slot machine had her thinking she'd won $US42 million.
"People were coming up to me and saying I won $42 million," Louise Chavez told KDRV FOX31.
"Lights were flashing, it sounded like a fire truck, the screen said 'see attendant'."
But the staff at the Fortune Valley Casino said the machine malfunctioned and Ms Chavez wasn't a winner at all.
Ms Chavez did get a complimentary room, free breakfast and the $23 that she originally gambled.
She said she will continue to push for that big jackpot.
"I played the game, I put my money into the machine, whether it's $42 million, $42,000 or $4000, I should get what the machine said," Ms Chavez said.
According to reports, the Division of Gaming will look for forensic information in the machine's software and there is a possibility that Ms Chavez could still win some money.

This kind of action by casinos makes me sick!
There have been several casinos that have acted in this way in the past. Let's make a list of the casinos that cheat players from this point forward!
I agree Herb, owning a casino is a licence to print money why shouldn't they pay up they will make it back, she put her money in the machine and won!, the casino say it was malfunctioning yet they were perfectly willing to let people use the machine
Yea, That is not right. Does this mean that any winner could be a "malfunction"?
