Last week Bill Seebeck decided to try his luck at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tampa. He spent around $80 on the Bally Ultimate Party Spin Slot machine for a half hour. At $4 a game he’s made a minor investment for the huge jackpot he was about to be on the receiving end of! When the lights started flashing and bells started ringing he knew this was it! The display flashed an unbelievable winning number: $166,666,666.65! Seeback was astounded when he saw the slot machine he was playing flashed a winning sum of more than $166 million!Seebeck told CBS "I was screaming, I was like up and around screaming." Seebeck, of Daytona Beach, Fla., said that the Casino managers immediately came over and roped off the machine. Seebeck spent the next hour dreaming about how he would spend his massive winnings, but the casino had other plans…
They told Seebeck that that his jackpot was a mistake… a machine malfunction …and they were refusing to pay him his $166 Million Jackpot! The maximum jackpot on the machine is a fairly small; $90,000 and the gambler wouldn’t receive close to that amount. The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino even attempted to coerce Seebeck into signing a written agreement that said the machine malfunctioned to that in but he refused. What F*CK’N LOSERS! Representatives of the Casino told Seebeck that the Ultimate Party Spin machine had spun out of control, and as a result he would not be getting his $166 million. Seebeck said” It was the ultimate buzz kill, I feel let down and ripped off. They make you think you won and they make everyone around you think you won and then... an hour after it they're saying... we have to investigate this and it's probably a malfunction," Casino spokesman Gary Bitner said the casino is confident there was a malfunction because that particular slot machine's top prize is a mere $99,000. In an attempt to save face after being called out on international Television, The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino did reach an agreement with Seebeck for an undisclosed amount which sound more like an offer of bonus coupon for Seebeck to stay a loyal gambler. Read it and decide for yourself if they are F*CK’N LOSERS or not: “The Seminole Hard Rock Casino Tampa has made an offer to William Seebeck, and he has accepted, recognizing that the slot machine he was playing on Sunday malfunctioned, in what can be best described to the layman as a “computer glitch.” The maximum payout on the Ultimate Party Spin machine played by Seebeck is $99,000, although his bet of $1.50 at the time of the malfunction could have generated a maximum payout of only $2,500, with the right combination. Determination of a malfunction was made by representatives of the machine’s and manufacturer software provider, according to established gaming industry standards, with confirmation from an independent third-party laboratory analysis. The casino has opted to settle this matter for an undisclosed amount as a good faith gesture, and we look forward to welcoming Mr. Seebeck on future visits.”
