April 1, 201015 yr Funny that her surname happens to be "Chavez". The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

April 1, 201015 yr They owe her $43mil. Period. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
April 1, 201015 yr I'm a bit torn on this; if by the rules of the game she didn't win but the winning signs all flashed I'm not 100% convinced she should get the jackpot, but I'm not sure she shouldn't get anything either (and she already got a free night, a free meal and the $20 she put in the machine). I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
April 1, 201015 yr 43 million dollars on a slot machine? That is a pretty serious bug, dudes. DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner. If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself. Important: as the following sentence contains many naughty words I warn you not to read it under any circumstances; botty, knickers, wee, erogenous zone, psychiatrist, clitoris, stockings, bosom, poetry reading, dentist, fellatio and the department of agriculture. "I suppose outright stupidity and complete lack of taste could also be considered points of view. "
April 1, 201015 yr Author So far as my (admittedly limited) thinking goes it is incumbent on the house to maintain the machines. If the machine is stated as in play by the house and it pays out then tha is the result which stands. No backsies. I am not for a moment saying there canot be mistakes, but given the seriousness of the game the emphasis MUST be on the operator. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
April 2, 201015 yr I think this has happened quite a few times. I'm not sure what the outcomes are though.
April 3, 201015 yr Author The real question is whether the house would pay out if a bug prevented someone from winning. Basically the onus is on the vendor to maintain and ensure their machines work. If it is in service, and accepting money then it's statements are those of the house, and payments are valid. Otherwise what is the point? "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
