Did she really expect to win over 41 million? smh.

Sorry for being dumb. :(
[QUOTE]The casino argued that the on-screen rules clearly indicated that "malfunction voids all pays and plays"[/QUOTE]
She had no case.
She could have tried for a small settlement, like maybe $500, and the casino might have accepted to save court costs.

She should have tried for the maximum the machine was supposed to be programmed to.
"component degradation over time may increase the susceptibility to this rare occurrence"
uhhhh i don't see how that can happen on a full digital slot machine

electronic components can degrade over time
in fact I bet it's occurs a lot faster than usual with gambling machines as annoyed sore losers might be tempted to apply percussive maintenance to a machine.
Strange glitch. It's disappointing that she lost out on the winnings. What if it was supposed to award her the $10,000 but the glitch caused the number to display incorrectly? Now because of a very vague fine print all they have to do is say "Sorry, the machine is broken we are not liable."
Too bad.

No one should expect anything else from a casino. Then again, I suppose that's most businesses, but the entire principle behind how casinos make money always seemed excessively shady to me personally.
Integer/float limit perhaps? Either coincidental or integral that 4294967295 is the unsigned integer limit
I bet she also thinks that if a cashiers' finger slips and types 50$ instead of 5$ then she deserves the 45$ she never paid in change.

yes but the chances of the controller's ROM changing to allow this kind of occurance is astronimcal

Quite a lot of people also think that pricing error entitles them to 0.99$ TVs
