That dude is getting paid, he should sue for way more that the 5.5 million...

I dont know. It says it was spitting out quarters. Why would it spit out quarters if he just won 5 million.

A good lawyer would argue that, if there was a malfunction, it was that the machine was spitting out quarters not that he won the jackpot.

I was next to a guy who won a jackpot in Biloxi. It spit out coins as well. My thought is for the celebration affect of the coins falling out.

Ironically, I was on that machine for about 45 minutes and the guy won on his second pull after I got up.

I won a couple of thousand once on slot machines, they're set to spit out a predetermined amount in cash for the "shock" and "celebration" affect. People hear the sound and get excited. After my quarters stopped coming out, the machine's light started flashing and they basically came and printed me out a ticket to collect the rest.

Misleading headline. It wasn't just some random guy who unplugged the machine (for which I'd happily hit him with a 2x4) it was a casino employee.

What's this? A casino acting in a less than forthright manner!?! Say it ain't so!
