    Katrina Bookman takes a selfie showing she hit the big one. Imagine, if you would, how absolutely giddy you'd be if you won a $43 million jackpot while playing a casino slot machine. Instead of a massive payout, the New York casino instead allegedly awarded her a steak dinner and the $2.25 balance she had on the machine when she thought she hit the big one on the one-armed bandit made by International Game Technology, which is also named in the suit. The unhappy gambler alleges negligence, breach of contract, and negligent misrepresentation, according to Courthouse News Service, which says the complaint included a selfie Bookman took with the machine that showed she had hit the big one. ...

  We discussed it back in November and there never was a $43 million jackpot then and there still isn't one today. She was playing a penny slot machine and considering the $3 a pull multi location Megabucks Progressive Slots never paid out $43 million, why would anyone believe a non-progressive penny slot machine pays more?
