State regulators say a gambler won a $25,000 jackpot on a Pittsburgh casino slot machine that should have paid out only $12.
The Gaming Control Board tells the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette the false jackpot happened on May 29, 2010. The generous payout happened in one of five instances involving Rivers Casino machines that weren’t properly tested or certified.
The board was to have levied an unspecified fine against the casino.
Casino officials say the player was allowed to keep the jackpot and that it paid all taxes on it.

They fined the casino. Why? So they don’t lose money. Gee, the casino may have figured that out all by themselves.
