Woman wins and then loses at Resorts World


From Eyewitness News:

It was casino chaos in this video shot by Katrina's partner after she reported her huge winnings. She was surrounded by customers and casino personnel and security. Escorted off the casino floor, she was told to come back tomorrow for the decision.

Katrina remembers her next day visit to the casino, "I said what did I win? (casino rep said) You didn't win nothing." Katrina says the only winning the casino offered was a steak dinner.

"They win and the house doesn't want to pay out. To me that's unfair," says her attorney, Alan Ripka.

Ripka says, at the very least Katrina should win the maximum allowed on the Sphinx machine the casino says it's $6,500.

"The machine takes your money when you lose. It ought to pay it when you win," said Ripka.

The state gaming commission told us Katrina's machine malfunctioned. Stated on all machines "malfunctions void all pays and plays."

Fraud in other words. Investigate Preet! They are crooks.

Put that steak on ice and shove it up their dishonest asses I say, what audacity. What a convenient disclaimer on that machine, they can basically refuse any jackpot that they don't approve. 6500 is bullshit. This establishment is bullshit

This "racino" has been making claims every year since that dump opened that they are making billions and revitalizing the community. This stiffing proves they have no credibility. Well, there are new pawn shops and motels around there (oh wait, the one 6 blocks away on by the home depot is a shelter)

This decent person with the winnings left over and after taxes would have gave her area a quicker fix than the redevelopment plan that was recently implemented there.

Government at its finest.

Just imagine if the Internal Revenue Service encountered a typographical error or computer glitch in their favor, your assets would be frozen and you would be locked up in the gulag...

This shows you how inept they are. 6500 is peanuts compared to the bad publicity.

F* gaming in NY. This is why I still shelp out to AC a couple of times a year. If I'm gonna get F'ed I'm gonna get F'ed by professionals.

Plus the drinks and rooms are still "free" and you have the boardwalk.

NEWSFLASH, SHEEPLE: When Albany and City Hall are so corrupt that they make the Racino look honest, ethical and reliable, that's where your focus should be for blame that has already collapsed the remnants of our shabby society!

Gambling is regressive and cannibalistic, and major shitheads like Cuomo and Addabbo are the reason for this endless money pit debacle that leaves its residents of Ozone Park angry and powerless, and its dumbass patrons bereft, and in a perpetual state of beggary, obscurity and quiet desperation, to say nothing of the poor-slob employees, all of whom are at the extreme mercy of such a corrupt and unaccountable system--EXACTLY like Albany and City Hall. This is what the 'Stockholm Syndrome' correctly dictates, and it's happening right before our very eyes!

Shut this foreign gambling mill down, and build affordable housing there, and create REAL jobs for people instead of gamble houses of epic, humanitarian fail! Nice job, Cuomo and Addabbo--get ready for Preet Bharara, because he's coming for you, replete with clinking bracelets--and, it can't happen SOON ENOUGH!

they jam the machines on purpose to make her winnings void. FIGHT THIS. the winnings are yours. I hate that place. sucks money from the disabled, elderly and blind and makes degenerate Gamblers of decent people.

Her first mistake was in "coming back tomorrow". She should have refused to leave until she was paid and got the news cameras in the casino.
