      Usually it's the other way around. Someone wins and they say it's a glitch

          Only reason they found him is the Nevada Gaming Board got involved. The crooked casino managers would have pocketed the winnings for themselves.

              For sure.
              This happened at TI, TI has always had a shady reputation.
              Good point.

              Funny how all the Vegas clip joints will always try to use the "slot machine malfunction" reason/excuse to their advantage.

                No wonder; an old friend now enemy; he works at TI. I wondered where he got all this money saying he's suddenly a millionaire too. Stating he will buy land here in MI and put me in his death camp. Now, I figured it all out thanks to you.

                  Wait a second. Robert Taylor hit the jackpot and James Taylor was the one who found him? Public trust? Haha sure, whatever you say.

                  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
                  On 8 January, Robert Taylor hit a jackpot on a slot machine at the Treasure Island Hotel & Casino on the Vegas strip.

                  But the “slot machine experienced a malfunction that prevented Mr Taylor and casino personnel from realizing that a progressive jackpot had been won”, the Nevada Gaming Control Board said.



                  “The Nevada Gaming Control Board is charged with the strict regulation of the gaming industry, the protection of the gaming public, and ensuring that the industry benefits the state of Nevada,” said James Taylor, chief of enforcement for the board.
                  “I commend the agents of the enforcement division … for ensuring that the public trust in the gaming industry remains strong by spending countless hours over two weeks to ensure that a patron is awarded winnings owed to him.
