That wasn't the only Las Vegas guest to hit big over the weekend. Another lucky person bet 60 cents and won up to $111,748 at the jackpot machine at the Station Casinos hotel and casino complex.

However, not all winners can leave the casino with the rewards they win. In 2016, Katrina Bookman, a female gambler at the Resrorts World Casino in Queens, New York. She played poker and the prize machine was $43 million.

Upon the announcement of his victory, Bookman was taken out of the resort by Resorts World Casino's men, scheduled to return the next day. The next day, upon going to the casino, the female tourist was shocked to hear the message: "They said, I didn't win any money. It's the card player's fault." To compensate, the hotel gave her $2.25 and a free dinner voucher with beef steak.

Representatives of New York State's Casino Control Commission, which manages gaming equipment in Queens, were also present and confirmed to Bookman this was a technical glitch. As a result, she will not receive $43 million.

"Machines rarely malfunction. We offer our sincere apologies to Ms Bookman for the inconvenience," the casino representative said. They added that the machine Bookman played could only pay a maximum of $6,500.

Earlier, Jan Flato was in the irony of seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Florida, USA in January 2017. Flato is the one who put money in the slot machine, he asked his friend Marina Medvedeva Navarro to press the "get lucky" button.

Flato reportedly won $100,000, but casino management decided to give the money to Marina after viewing the security cameras. By law, the winner is the one who presses the game start button so Flato is not at all reasonable enough to receive the bonus.

Marina did not share with her friend, she also reminded the casino security guard to keep an eye on Flato before leaving with $50,000 in cash and a cheque for $50,000. No lawyer has come out to help Flato sue, he only has a way of bringing his story to the public so that others avoid falling into the same situation as him.
