Malfunction Voids All Pays And Playstation
Malfunction voids all pays and plays. Sale and/or transfer of player accounts is strictly prohibited. This software product uses optional in-app purchase to accelerate progression through gameplay. Tucked away at the bottom of all online slot games pay tables or game help files is a small message which states, “A Malfunction Voids all Pays and Play”, and this is a very important rule that is there for a reason. Should anything go wrong when you are playing that particular slot game then. 99.99% of the people that play this machine rarely play it at 4.00. They usually play it at 2.40 or less Even if she was playing one in the high limit area at 400.00 a pull max bet and she hot a jackpot it would only be 2,000,000.00 The Max payout on the one she was playing is 6,500.00 Now,having said all that here is the real kicker.
At first i thought it was another of those malfunction voids play ridiculous $43 mil jackpots but this one is quite different
Here is the final ruling. I think the lawyers were incompetent for the plaintiff. Im wondering if the wizard could have testified and what his current opinion is
https://caselaw.findlaw.com/ms-supreme-court/1326082.html
So Ms Eash spins the top symbols on a slot and wins a $1mil jackpot at IP in Biloxi
Only IP says malfunction. The machine only pays $8000
Gaming commission does investigation and uncovers following
Machine had 3 different settings
Standalone with $8000 max pay
Standalone progressive with $1mil cap
Linked progressive with no cap
IP requested standalone machine but IGT incorrectly set the machine as a standalone $1mil progressive
Even though the signage clearly stated the top jackpot was only $8000 its settings were for $1mil
The commission ruled in miss Eash favor as the machine did not malfunction and she truly had the 'lucky' spin per the odds
IP appealed
It climbed up to state supreme court
Which ruled in IPs favor
In the judgement there were two contracts examined
The IP lease agreement had an indemnity clause forbidding IP from recouping from IGT even though the mistake was traced to IGT. IP was considered unfairly on the hook
Secondly they concluded the signage stipulating a top payout of $8000 in full view constituted a valid contract which Miss Eash was held too.
She was awarded $8000 final judgement
IMO the plaintiff lawyers were incompetent. They should have made the mathematical argument that every person who had previously played had paid into the progressive so it was not IP but previous customers paying the jackpot
Also those customers were playing a game which probably violated state minimum payback (that is by paying only $8000 of $1mil the payback was then altered as to violate state law)
As such it was the signage that was wrong and therefore a void contract
Anyway its too late now but this really has made me upset all day lol
- In the vast majority of cases, big payouts from slot machines are legitimate. But just be aware that the “Malfunction voids all pays and plays” sign actually means something and can void a jackpot in rare cases.

I doubt the difference between $8k and $1M jackpot would be the deciding factor between the game being below or above minimum payback requirement. The top jackpot is usually a small %. I'm not sure about top dollar.
IMO, since it showed the top payout being $8k, then the ultimate decision was correct in having IP pay her $8k. Well, maybe not 100% 'correct', but not a complete hornswoggle.
I don't know how those games are setup. Is it possible to set it to the normal setting (how it should have been) and manually adjust the top payout? I think so, since every now and then you'll see a top payout of some weird amount that's non-progressive. Or was it setup so that the top payout was $1M, making the frequency of the top payout super duper low?
What did the progressive amount supposedly start at? Seems like it was just set to a $1M base jackpot. (#4)

Higher courts overruled based on contract legality
I'm surprised the casino didn't try to negotiate once gaming ruled in her favor. Perhaps they did and someone suggested that since gaming ruled in her favor there would be no problem with the higher courts.
More often than not, I think gaming has made good decisions overall.

I've heard a number of cases like this and all of them seem to go the casino's way, which I think is right. I used to have the opposite position on this matter, when I was younger and more idealistic.
If forced to take a side, I have to go with the IP. I'm sure there was a sign somewhere saying 'malfunction voids all pays and plays.' It was a malfunction, albeit human error, that caused the machine to incorrectly announce a $1M win. Plus, signage indicated the top win was $8,000.

I disagree that it was a malfunction. It was not a malfunction. The machine operated in the exact way it was programmed to operate. She won the jackpot with the correct reels. In other type of situations the machine would display a jackpot when there was no win. In this case the player got the correct symbols. Since they got the correct symbols for a jackpot then they should be awarded the jackpot. The argument is not if it was a malfuntion, but what should the jackpot be.
I do agree with the outcome. When everyone sat down they all played based on the 8k award. I would have fought for the million but knew in my heart that I was probably going to get 8k.
I would like to see a picture of the machine though. Was there anywhere on the machine that showed a progressive that was climbing, or was this just a standard machine where all of the screens showed fix wins?

Does this mean human error is considered within malfunction parameters?
That sounds a bit scary and catchall to me
For example if you knew your freezer needed to be set high to avoid an ice cream cake melting
And when you returned home your cake was melted because you had accidentally set it to low
Would you declare the fridge had malfunctioned? Or accept the fridge worked as it was supposed to and it was human error
Not trying to be argumentative. You yourself said your opinion has changed so this seems like a grey area
