We’ve all seen the headlines. Massive jackpots taken away from players due to slots malfunctions. Through no fault of their own, the heartbreak felt by these life-changing wins being voided makes us wonder what the hell really happened. I mean, how does a something like this even happen?

Malfunctions result in players believing they have won large jackpots. When the casino informs them that the machine malfunctioned and they haven’t won any prize, they find it hard to digest. Many players end up suing the casino, but with little or no success.
There are two types of slot malfunctions. The first is where the machine displays that the jackpot has been won although the player did not land the jackpot winning combination of symbols. And the second is when the jackpot-winning combination is displayed at the end of a spin, this combination isn’t really what the computer selected at random.
