As far as Granny is concerned you obviously can't win millions of dollars playing a penny machine, but I think they should have given her more than $1.85. The max payout was $10,000 maybe she should have got something between $1.85 and that for the purpose of good customer relations. If they were warned the machines could malfunction they should have been pulled from service until repaired.

Ivey decision will be appealed. If I heard correct, the judge ruled not only what the casino lost - but also included what the casino 'should have won' for the hours he played...
