A good reason not to go to US casinos in vegas is there are too many stories of casinos blocking payout due to "exploiting" games. If you win you win or you dont. Doesnt matter how its up to the casino to validate that their game works and is exploit free. You already put your money down so they might as well just use a gun to take it at that point.

This holds a life lesson: you haven't actually "won" until you've managed to get the other party to pay you. Goes in casinos as well as finance and business. Corollary: the best way to win is the one where others don't care or don't even realise you have won. Try to find a niche others don't care about and find in it regular, small wins. Don't go into a highly contested arena and try to win big. Even if you think you have won, you'll never get paid that way.

I've never heard of this, other than someone breaking the slot machines. And they make it very clear that if you don't use the slot machine they way it is intended, you void your play. I've been scammed at foreign casinos before in the Caribbean, but never in the US.

  If they can just declare the machine was wrong (error) then they can do it for anytime they don't feel like paying out. If it says you win then you win the payout or they robbed you. Doesn't matter if there was an "error" the burden is on the casino to vet the operation of their machines. There is ZERO way for a customer to challenge ANY loss ever. Once the trust of payout is breached the Casio is now a zero sum game. The fact that the casio would rather lose face not paying out says a lot more about the other things going on that we don't see. Again if the casino can reject your win for any reason after declaring you won then they can take back the money for any reason period. Therefore there is no reason to ever play at such an establishment.

    They can't just declare the machine was broken. There is an entire gaming commission that specially makes sure the casino isn't cheating. Any time they fail to pay a win, they have to submit a report to the gaming commission and take the machine out of service until the commission can investigate. And the player CAN challenge a loss. They too can file a complaint with the commission, who will investigate with video footage and any other evidence, and by mission is designed to be on the player's side if the evidence for not paying out isn't solid. They aren't going to willy nilly void payouts because of the scrutiny it would bring.

There are few industries with as many eyes as the gambling industry in the US. This needs some context.

  LOL. The Casio industry in the US was literally founded by the Mob. Do you really think they just said lets just give up this waterfall of money and move on? LOL no they just moved into corporate and politics. Did you know the Las Vegas strip is not actually part of Las Vegas legally, its literally its own government.
