How Pissed would YOU be?
OLG offers slot player free dinner instead of $43M

A Wasaga Beach, Ont. man is taking the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation to court after they offered him a free dinner instead of the $43 million
he thought he won.
Pawel Kusnirewicz was playing the two-cent slots at Georgian Downs Casino in Innisfill on Dec. 2 when suddenly bells on the machine began ringing,
whistles began blowing and a voice on the machine told him to call an attendant because he had just become a millionaire.
"You've just won $42.9 million," the machine said.
A casino attendant rushed over to congratulate the man but then called over supervisors when he realized the size of the jackpot.
Supervisors told him that the machine was broken and that they couldn't offer him the prize money but as compensation the casino would treat him and
three of his friends to dinner.
Kusnirewicz decided to call his lawyer instead.
The OLG was served yesterday with legal documents informing them that the man intends to sue the corporation for the prize money.
The OLG has said the top prize at the two-cent machine was only supposed to be $9,000 even though no maximum amount was posted on the machine. The
corporation also said that all machines are labelled with a sign that says all plays are void if the machine malfunctions.
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario is investigating the charges.

oh, i'd be pissed, but i doubt he'll win.
dude should settle for the 9k max payout of that machine.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

I think he should get it all. Whos to say that it was a malfuncion? Maybe it was a mislabled machine, plus if the maximum jackpot of $9000 wasnt
posted on the machine than the casino could make up anything they wanted.

How is it possible for the machine to have a 9000 dollar limit and still be programmed to tell the guy that he won such a large amount? That part
makes no sense to me. I doubt he'll get his money, but that sounds sketchy as fuck.
