NJ Woman Says Bally’s Casino Blamed $2.5M Jackpot on Glitch
A New Jersey senior citizen says she plans to file suit after hitting a $2.5 million jackpot on a Wheel of Fortune slot machine at Bally’s casino in Atlantic City—only to be told that her big win was a glitch and she could not collect.

A Bally’s worker told her the machine malfunctioned, refused to pay out, and asked her to leave, she said.

IGT said it “is cooperating with the casino operator’s investigation of this matter.”Read it at New York PostRead more at The Daily Beast.
