Players continue to lose without refund any and all money affected by malfunctions, and if a player knew enough about the details of how the machine worked to have a decent chance at being able to prove it, the player can likely then be prosecuted for fraud. Further, if the regulators receive their funding from casino revenues, their incentives are aligned to side with casinos & hold players liable for malfunctions. | |
