Some 24 of the gamblers won't be hard to find, because they used their casino player cards

Now there's the true meaning of "dumb luck".......

So I guess that machine was a -EV for the House huh... ;)

That is simply the funniest thing I have ever heard. I would have stayed at that machine for a very long time. And then called my lawyer and said "It wasn't my fault. I thought it was some type of promotion." Then let them try to get my money back.

I would say it was smart luck for the people who found the machine and played it!!!!

Yeah, I was referring to the people playing slots in general as "dumb" and just got "lucky" with the broken one.... :)
