    • KSDK NewsChannel 5 - Illinois Attorney Says Virgin Islands Casino Didn't Pay Up on Slot Machine Win



    The machine indicated he'd won $5.15 million; but as the quarters began to pour from the machine, Paulson said a manager came over and shut off the machine.

    "Whoever shut the machine off said, 'It's an obvious malfunction. If you look at the top of the machine, it says we're not responsible for malfunction of the machines . There's no bet,'" Paulson said, adding that the casino management did not explain how or why the malfunction occurred.

    After being offered $100 and a free meal by the casino's manager, Paulson asked if the casino would pick up the tab for his trip.

    "Assuming that they were right and there was a malfunction, I think at least I should have been treated not like I did something wrong. They almost acted like I did something wrong," he said.

    Paulson said filed a report with the gaming commission of the Virgin Islands, but has not heard from them regarding their own investigation into the matter.

    "Quite frankly, I'm not expecting (the casino) to pay me $5 million if they can prove to me somehow that there was a malfunction, and it wasn't due to them trying to manipulate the odds or something, then maybe I'm not entitled to it," Paulson said.
