COLD MACHINE?

Post by jm002546 »

  I have read where some casinos have altered machines to not payout enough ROYALS.  Anyone know if a machine can develop a malfunctionwhereby the expected payouts are disrupted?

I think it would not be an unintentional "malfunction".  That happened once that I know of and heads literally rolled in Vegas when it happened.

Yes, your probably referring to the American Coin fiasco. That must have been 15-20 years ago.
