Slot Machine winnings

Question for you experts..

A few month ago I saw a lady sit across from me.. put in $100 in a quarter slot.. very first spin hits jackpot of $1000 or 4000 credits. The counter on the machine went beserk and repeated until the guy came to turn it off.. overheard her argue with the guy.. he wanted to pay her $1000 but she argued that she just put $100 in and should get $1099.25 back!

Guy said max jacpot was $1000 regardless of whatever was left in there.

I%26#39;ve never won a jackpot, can anyone clarify? If this is the case, I woll only put $20 in from now on in case i hit something big.

She can still cash out the $99.25. What on earth was she on about. Or am i being stupid and missing something.

As the other poster said, she hit for $1000 and still had $99.25 left to play or cash out.

She probably just didn%26#39;t realize that her $99.25 was still there to be played or cashed out.

She may have the $99.25 credit, but she may not, we just don%26#39;t know. I sure would like to hear from anyone that has hit a jackpot to find out if they leave your credits on the machine. What if you are building up credits and have 700-800 credits and hit a jackpot? I don%26#39;t think the casino would just pay out the $1,000.00 and wipe out your credits. (wish I could hit a $1,000.00 on my first spin though. I would gladly sacrifice the Franklin).

Yes, of course, your credits are still left on the machine. I just experienced this last week. This was on a machine that paid out all jackpots of $400 or more. When paid out my $400, I still had $19.75 left in the machine. I was paying quarter video keno and hit 6 out of 6.

I won $1000 in Jan on VP at Excalibur but still had over $200 on the machine besides that. He opened the machine and ';did his thing in the machine'; after he paid me then when he closed the machine, it still showed what credits were on there before I hit the royal and I just started playing on those again. I also hit not long ago in Cripple Creek and they did the same thing. You don%26#39;t lose the credits that you already had. They just pay you your jackpot winnings and you play off the rest of your credits.

When I have had the luck to win a jackpot, whether it was a progressive or not, I was paid the winnings of that jackpot. My credits prior to the win were still there after the payoff and machine reset.

All this lady needed to do was cash out the remaining credits and she surely would have had the $1099.25 total in her hands.

The weird thing was when she hit the jackpot the counter went beserk.. it went to 4000 then back to 0 and started counting again. It ended up showing 3467 or something.. when the guy reset the machine it went down to 0 and he paid her the $1k.. it was kind of weird.. i think the credit count was suppose to freeze while the light goes off..

Unfortunately, as noted on all machines, ';Machine Malfunction Voids All Pays.'; A machine malfunction happened to me once at the Palms where the manual reels went haywire and I thought I had hit the jackpot. They came over and re-set it and gave me something like $2 in cash, because I was honest about how many credits I had left to play. I figured if I went with a really high figure they%26#39;d investigate it more thoroughly and it wasn%26#39;t worth it to be branded a cheat.

Interesting question especially because the $1000 is less than a w2g amount. Every time I have ever hit a hand pay, on a coin paying machine, I was paid the entire amount, the win plus the credits. and thats every casino I ever played in.

so I am guessing this incident was some Indian casino without TITO ! or the TITO would have printed for 1099.25.

To the poster, was this an Indian Casino?
