Slots player denied $8.5m prize
Nov 06, 2015 BEAVERTON, Ore. (KRON) – A woman in Oregon hit the $8 million jackpot at a Lucky Eagle Casino slot machine, but got no money. The casino said it was a machine malfunction and gave her $80 instead. Nov 07, 2015 Veronica Castillo, who is 42 and from Portland, Oregon thought she had struck it lucky after hitting an $8 million jackpot. The loan officer was playing alongside her mother on the slots at Lucky.
Maribel Sanchez has said the Newcastle Casino in Oklahoma is refusing to award her almost $8.5m which she won playing slots at the facility. The venue claims the win was due to a game malfunction.
The gambler from Oklahoma proceeded to inform the FOX 25 news station, which provided details of the incident on Twitter. Sanchez also shared an image of the slot machine screen indicating the win amount:
Liberty 7s machine shut down after win
Sanchez said she visited the Newcastle Casino at 7am on Friday morning. She decided to play the Liberty 7s slot and had wagered only $1.25 when she hit the jackpot. But as soon as the win occurred, the machine shut down and the screen went black.
Sanchez took a photo of the on-screen win announcement, which showed a total of $8,469,498.95.
Maribel’s daughter, Linda, commented on the incident, stating:
It says clearly the amount that she won, but now they’re saying it was a malfunction and not give (sic) her the amount.”
Taking legal action
Sanchez is working on taking legal action to receive the payment she claims she is owed by the casino. Her attorney, Bill Zuhdi, said:
We’re going to look at all her legal options and aggressively pursue her rights. She should be paid what she won.”

I'm not so confident in her chances of having a case. Now, I'm not too familiar with that machine, but I do know that all slots have a warning on them 'All malfunctions void payouts' or something similar on them. If the casino forked out some cash for the 'jackpot', then it may be a pitiful consolidation payment, but I can't say for sure.
The machine is certainly not mechanical, you're correct. They should be able to go into the machine history and see what happened, and whether or not a legitimate win had occurred.
On a related note, I have seen 'ghost jackpots' hit before in my experience, and they were fictitious jackpots of $1,000,000+.
where is said video?
What video? The articles in the OP indicate that she wasn't able to record anything beyond a picture, which is understandable. We have the same practices here, no pictures or videos allowed.

'She recorded the machine on her phone'. Do you say you 'record a picture'?

Ah, right. I misread the article, I was under the impression that she just snapped a shot of the machine. Regardless, video proof won't really do much for her case if the machine history says otherwise.
does that pic not say 8.5 million nickels
171,774,993 credits in nickels recorded on machine
On the other readout is dollars.

Why is that understandable? What possible bad can come from someone recording a machine?It's only protecting the casinos ass in case someone has a legitimate jackpot and the casino wants to cry foul.

There was some video recently at a NY casino where machines were stealing credits from people.
