Detroit woman sues MGM after not getting her winnings

You heard one side of the story and not even a good one. When you win over $5000 it HAS to be reported. You HAVE to show ID. You HAVE to give them your SS number. She thinks she is special and doesnt have to do ANY of that.

Claiming what is rightfully hers is not "thinking she's special", it's exactly what you and I would do in her place.

Interesting case. It appears the winner has the better side of it in court. MGM's claim that the verbal statement its agent made to the winner two years before, that she was "banned," renders her a "trespasser" at the time she won must be weighed against the fact that it did not enforce the ban; leaving a reasonable person to think MGM has rescinded the ban. MGM will claim it doesn't know if a banned person is present on the property until the person wins. But this claim will probably fail in court. However, it will cost money to depose the MGM people who know how the ban policy operates in practice: e.g., we simply don't care until they win. That policy the court will reject.

[@BBBYpsi]

[@APackOfHungryGhosts]

I was a security guard (both public and private) for 15 years. Only the police can issue a No-Trespass order. Business's can ban whoever they like, but in order to be trespassed you must be asked to leave and refuse, then the police show up and issue you a No-Trespass order. She was asked to leave and left. There was never any No-Trespass order issued. Besides their ban was effectively lifted the moment they accepted her bet. There is an implied contract there and they are indemnified to pay out her winnings. They let her in the building, and allowed her to play, she won, pay up. It's really that simple.

Getting yourself into?Who are you The Wizard of Wall Street? You play you either win or lose those are their rules..

[@williamthomas4617]

@@myronbledsoe44 the vast majority of people lose… that’s what you’re getting yourself into. The house wins. It’s not that deep Columbo…

She can also sue for punitive damages now and collect a lot more!

[@phxrus]

Some ask you too leave and you leave most times they won't permanently trespass you... and most permanently trespassing a police report of some sort is needed

[@DoctorChained]

All trespassing needs a police report. They can "ban" if they want but it's not a legal trespassing order until the police are involved with proof that you were on the premises.

[@Madcatz9000]

The house will always try and not pay out the winners. They would rather players sue and drag it out in court.

[@juliesilvaggio804]

If she is a regular gambler at MGM, she would have used her player’s card most the time she is gambling there to get comps, so, MGM knew she gambles there after the so called ban and they didn’t stop her then? Easy case!

[@BigfistJP]

Winning a jackpot is not really dependent on using a player's card. But your point is correct. It would be interesting to know if she was using one, but MGM cannot use, as an excuse, the fact that she didn't use one.

[@Ozzy.Kopec1]

I read on another source she was asked for her drivers license and that is when they found out her name. If so, that would indicate she was not using a players card?

[@BigfistJP]

@@Ozzy.Kopec1 No, not at all. WIth the amount of winnings she received, there has to be a W2G form filled out, which requires indentification. The player's card is not legitimate identification. What is legitimate would be a passport, driver's license, or a military ID card.

[@YishHarnel]

She wasn't trespassing when they took her money imagine that

[@JohnSmith-nj4zq]

This happened a lot with card counters as well. They refuse to pay them because they are on the banned lists.

127 thou is nothing for mgm

I worked in slots for 10 years in a casino, and people get "24 hour" a lot. It's pretty much a for minor disturbance and is used to diffuse the situation quickly. The casino pretty much gives the guest a 24 hour cool down. Doesn't mean they are banned, doesn't mean that they can't come back. Just not for 24hrs. If they dont pay this women!!! Dirty asf!!!

[@Chulitatr]

MGM had done that before and it was on the news.

[@doct0rnic]

Only thing that will help her is if she signed up for a players card after told to leave

[@J3AD]

for so many years they took her money, you know she probably has one of those players card, if so, they knew she was there gambling, but never told her over 9 years. some serious BS greed.

[@stuwest3653]

She wasn't using her players card r credit cards because she was banned and knew it, genius.

[@dmbeaster]

A really hopeless position by MGM. They take her money for years though allegedly banned, and then put the hammer down when she wins.

[@gottago9824]

funny how the casinos didn't have any issues taking her money but when she wins big, all of the sudden NOW they have a problem? Hell no, pay the woman, MGM.

[@vhagerty]

I've heard of casinos refusing to pay jackpots on slot machines, claiming it was a computer error. Ridiculous!

[@tammytilley6051]

This is why you don’t waste your money ..

[@George-fy7tt]

MGM is dishonesty. They should pay her immediately.

[@EdwardM919]

Shocker they wont pay

[@regismonkton]

I hope she wins the lawsuit against MGM. I wonder what that MGM Casino would say if she had asked them if she's allowed to gamble there, i.e. before she won the money.

[@dalecs47]

But what you will always win is the extra charge on your hotel room bill for food and beverage items from your room mini bar and mini refrigerator, items which you never in fact used. But yo will be charged. I never go to any casino becasue I do not enjoy being lied to, ripped off and cheated. Casinos are for fools and suckers.

[@elh3945]

Stay out of these casinos. They have no problem taking your money when u lose but seem to have a problem paying u when u win

[@kyleanuar9090]

After lawyer and taxes how much she's getting?

[@burtonl7239]

Can probably add lawyer fees to the lawsuit.

[@ManagingMyLife82]

@@burtonl7239yeah she should sue for more than the winnings.

[@jessicaregina1956]

Fitty cents

[@TakeZeroTV]

If she used a players card each time MGM will be paying alot more than 127k! If you are banned it shows up as soon as you are swiped. They will not only lose more than likely 10x forfraud; but a hefty fine from the Michigan gaming commission. Hopefully her lawyer is astute on gaming rules.
