We hear of “false alarms” in casinos all the time. Someone thinks that Lady Luck finally smiled upon him (or her). Jumps for joy. Then reality bursts his (or her) bubble. Here’s another piece of news that runs along the same lines.

The main character is Paul Kusznirewicz, a 55-year old man from Ontario, Canada. The Star reports what happened (and it’s heartbreaking, let me tell you):

It was Dec. 8 at the Georgian Downs casino in Innisfil, Ont.

The 55-year-old sat stupefied, gawking first at the Buccaneer slot machine – Jackpot! You’ve won $42.9 million – then at his equally stunned wife.

“The lights and the sounds. It was saying on the machine ‘Call attendant. You have won a jackpot of over $42 million,’ ” he said. “I couldn’t believe it.”

Amidst the bells and whistles, a casino employee arrived, at first offering congratulations on the win.

“Oh,” he remembers the attendant saying. “But look at how big. I’ll have to call a supervisor.”

Casino personnel rushed to the slots – two supervisors, security and several mechanics. They took pictures. A crowd began to gather. Finally, someone said: “We can’t pay you that money because that machine is broken.”

What can I say? That is absolute rubbish! But it doesn’t stop there. In an effort to console Kusznirewicz, the casino offered him 4 coupons for their dinner buffet! Even more rubbish, huh?

Understandably, Kusznirewicz is going to take matters into his own hands. He has hired a lawyer and they are pushing for the casino to pay him his winnings.

What do you think is the right thing to do?
