Bug in ‘Capital Gains’ online slot game giving false reports of $100K jackpots
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — The manufacturer of a popular online slots game at the center of a lawsuit over how much a Pennsylvania woman should be paid for winning says it has “taken corrective action.”
But the company maintains there are no grounds to pay the woman the $100,000 jackpot her phone told her she had won while playing “Capital Gains.”
New Jersey officials say they have received 14 similar complaints about the game.
Las Vegas-based American Gaming System says it will defend itself against a lawsuit brought by Lisa Piluso of Yardley, Pennsylvania.
She was playing a game on her phone last year and received a screen notification that she won $100,000.
But New Jersey regulators say the company told them “a bug” created incorrect displays on gamblers’ phones.
