After explaining the circumstances to Ms. Dan Bank, a spokesman for Resorts World, told CNN: “Upon being notified of the situation, casino personnel were able to determine that the figure displayed on the penny slot was the result of an obvious malfunction – a fact later confirmed by the New York State Gaming Commission. However, they did offer her a free steak dinner instead, which is something. They weren’t going to pay her anywhere near the millions she thought she won. Resorts World Casino offered Katrina Bookman a gesture of goodwill.And while this sounds pretty unfair, the machine did have a sign that said “malfunctions void all pays and plays.” In other words, they didn’t have to pay her anything but what they decided she’d actually won. The winning amount that was displayed wasn’t correct at all. The New York State Gaming Commission said Bookman’s machine had a fault and had malfunctioned. The slot machine Bookman was playing on malfunctioned.As it turns out, she hadn’t won $43 million at all. “You didn’t win nothing.” When Bookman asked a Resorts World worker how much she’d be taking home, this was the response.She immediately printed out the winning ticket and was told by the casino to come back the following day to discuss her winnings. She took a selfie with the machine and said her whole body went “numb” in disbelief. For Katrina Bookman, everything was about to change (or so she thought). As it turns out, she shouldn’t have - she wasn’t a millionaire, after all, ABC7 reports. When the screen displayed Bookman had won $42,949,672, she could hardly believe it. Katrina Bookman was enjoying a day out at Resorts World Casino in Jamaica, Queens, when she hit the largest ever slot machine jackpot in the United States.
