Last weekend turned out to be a really “profitable” one for all the players at Dayton Raceway Racino, the latest Hollywood Gaming in Ohio. A technical error produced a great number of winners who were given a significant amount of cash.
The Error
Everything started early in the morning, (at 12.01 am actually) previous Saturday, when the promotion begun. According to the initial plan, the promotion was intended to last for 18 hours and the award was supposed to be given to several randomly selected players. Unfortunately, the baffling situation happened when not only the registered but all the players were rewarded with free cash.
Miles Johnson was one of the fortunate people who won $12, 000 by pure luck. When asked how does it feel to wake up the next morning and be much richer than you were just a day ago, he says that he couldn’t believe all the money belong to him: “It was exciting to play the big-money slots. Usually, I’m just a little penny slot guy.” He also added that at first, he thought it was a joke or a dream but obviously last Friday was the night of his life.
He will probably be asked to give a part of the award back. However, Johnson has firmly stated that under no circumstances will he give the entire amount back. The reward is a huge help in paying his debt back, developing his company and even saving for rainy days.
The technical mistake caused a lot of positive emotions but the authorities were not too happy about it. It took three hours for the technicians to find a solution and fix the error.
Meanwhile, the jackpots were literary hit every couple of minutes. The managers didn’t come with an announcement what the exact amount of money the “wrong” rewards costed but everyone with some maths skills can see that the sum was not too small bearing in mind that only one player – Mile Johnson, have won a significant sum. According to some unofficial sources, financial statements, aimed at providing accurate information, will be released in the first week of October.
Nevertheless, Bob Tenenbaum, a spokeperson, commented on the incident and said that Racino has never had such a great number of lucky players but despite the mistake, the organisers are always happy when their players are. The initial promotion took place regardless of the issues and the free cash was distributed among the randomly picked up winners.
Is Such an Error Possible in an Online Casino?
Well, if you prefer online gambling activities, don’t expect to get lucky because of a technical fault. While the “real” casinos give the winners their rewards almost immediately, things in the online casinos are slightly different. In other words, relying on a mistake in order to become a winner in an online casino, will most probably be a useless and disappointing activity.
