Up until the point when she won the jackpot, it had not been a lucky day for Falco. She was down $200 before she won. Being a regular, there is no telling how much money she could have spent gambling at the Casino Rama. One thing is certain, she did not lose $8 million. Nov 07, 2015 Veronica Castillo, 42, is upset after apparently winning an $8 million jackpot at a casino only to be told that the slot machine made a mistake. She ended up.
She has a picture
These slot machine are no longer mechanical
Its all computer
Computer gives her 8.5 mil, I consider it fairly won.

I'm not so confident in her chances of having a case. Now, I'm not too familiar with that machine, but I do know that all slots have a warning on them 'All malfunctions void payouts' or something similar on them. If the casino forked out some cash for the 'jackpot', then it may be a pitiful consolidation payment, but I can't say for sure.
The machine is certainly not mechanical, you're correct. They should be able to go into the machine history and see what happened, and whether or not a legitimate win had occurred.
On a related note, I have seen 'ghost jackpots' hit before in my experience, and they were fictitious jackpots of $1,000,000+.
where is said video?
What video? The articles in the OP indicate that she wasn't able to record anything beyond a picture, which is understandable. We have the same practices here, no pictures or videos allowed.

'She recorded the machine on her phone'. Do you say you 'record a picture'?

Ah, right. I misread the article, I was under the impression that she just snapped a shot of the machine. Regardless, video proof won't really do much for her case if the machine history says otherwise.
does that pic not say 8.5 million nickels
171,774,993 credits in nickels recorded on machine
On the other readout is dollars.

Why is that understandable? What possible bad can come from someone recording a machine?It's only protecting the casinos ass in case someone has a legitimate jackpot and the casino wants to cry foul.
There was some video recently at a NY casino where machines were stealing credits from people.
They got pissed she was recording as well.
