An American man, who was playing on a 4 buck slot machine, was denied winning $166,666,666.65, after the casino told him that the slot machine “malfunctioned”, and he would not even receive the actual jackpot which was $90,000, a small figure compared to the mammoth win the machine told him he won.

The gambler, William Seebeck, thought he was set for life, and for Christmas but obviously, things were not to be. After the bell’s started ringing, and the casino informed the man of the error, they tried to get him to sign an agreement, in which they said he wouldn’t receive a penny, and that the machine malfunctioned.

The man formally denied to sign any paper, but has since reached an agreement which has not been disclosed to the public.

“The Seminole Hard Rock Casino Tampa has made an offer to William Seebeck, and he has accepted, recognizing that the slot machine he was playing on Sunday malfunctioned, in what can be best described to the layman as a “computer glitch.”

“Determination of a malfunction was made by representatives of the machine’s manufacturer and software provider, according to established gaming industry standards, with confirmation from an independent third-party laboratory analysis. The casino has opted to settle this matter for an undisclosed amount as a good faith gesture, and we look forward to welcoming Mr. Seebeck on future visits.”
