Slot Machine Malfunction Causes Concern

Recently a nickel slot machine around Fresno, California malfunctioned while a patron was playing the slot machine. The readout on the slot machine said that Sornpaserd Ukeowannulack won a jackpot worth over $700,000—an amount to high for a nickel slot machine.

An ecstatic Ukeowannulack contacted the officials at the Table Mountain Casino who then immediately contacted the Progressive Gaming International Corp. to find out more about the slot machine malfunction. The “Deep Pockets” slot machines game history was then checked, and the gaming corporation confirmed that the winning jackpot was a malfunction, and in fact the machine had no winning configuration.

The conclusion still has Ukeowannulack winning a jackpot, however it is significantly less than he first anticipated. The Table Mountain Casino will give Ukeowannulack the maximum amount of jackpot for the slot machine he played: $10,000—and this is generous considering the casino doesn’t technically have to pay him anything.
