ABC News
When the lights and bells went off at a slot machine at the Fortune Valley Casino, in Central City, Colo., Louise Chavez thought she had the win of a lifetime -- $42 million.
But after the casino claimed the machine malfunctioned, all Chavez got was a few dollars, some free meals and a room for the night.
Colorado gaming officials are investigating the incident, but said it could be nothing more than an unfortunate computer glitch. Chavez may not see a dime.
Holy cow you must be shitting me? If I made 12 grand/year, and I suddenly hit $42 million on a slot in Central City, you better believe I'm moonwalking out of there. But then this poor lady had the rug pulled out from under her on a computer glitch? And all they give her is dinner and a room? Well how do you like that Louise? Instead of owning the place, your checkout is 11am. I'm surprised she didn't shoot up the place.
P.S. Central City is sort of a depressing place to begin with. A couple years ago, a couple friends and I went up there for some gambling and cocktails, and we were the youngest people in that town by at least 30 years. Reminded me of that scene in Swingers where they finally get to that casino in Vegas and its just a bunch of old people with oxygen tanks pumping quarters into the slots at 4am.
