Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Tampa this Sunday denied one man 166 million jackpot.

According to Miami New Times Seminole Hard Rock Casino says there was a malfunction in the system. Bill Seebeck was playing a $4 slot machine when its bells started ringing and an enormous figure began flashing on its jackpot screen: $166,666,666.65. The man thought for a moment this is it. His life’s financial problems are all solved and he is set financially.

However, it was not meant to by. The casino currently denies a Daytona Beach man the 166 million jackpot because the casino officials told him that “Ultimate Party Spin had spun out of control, malfunctioned and he wouldn’t get any money for a malfunction.” According to local WFTV they even wanted Seebeck to agree with their assessment in writing. Seebeck refused to agree in writing with the casino managers.

To be fair though, it needs to be said that the maximum jackpot on the machine is a relatively paltry $90,000 dollars. However, it appears that Seebeck may not even get this amount. This is what seem to be unfair on the casino’s part denying him the jackpot.

UPDATES:

“The Seminole Hard Rock Casino Tampa has made an offer to William Seebeck, and he has accepted, recognizing that the slot machine he was playing on Sunday malfunctioned, in what can be best described to the layman as a “computer glitch.” The maximum payout on the Ultimate Party Spin machine played by Seebeck is $99,000, although his bet of $1.50 at the time of the malfunction could have generated a maximum payout of only $2,500, with the right combination. Determination of a malfunction was made by representatives of the machine’s manufacturer and software provider, according to established gaming industry standards, with confirmation from an independent third-party laboratory analysis. The casino has opted to settle this matter for an undisclosed amount as a good faith gesture, and we look forward to welcoming Mr. Seebeck on future visits.”
