Misloaded casino change machine pays out fortune


CTV.ca News Staff

Casino Regina is trying to track down gamblers who pocketed thousands of dollars in unearned jackpots after a change-making machine was misloaded. In October, casino staff mistakenly loaded the automated redemption machine with $20 bills instead of fives. People using the machine to make change or cash in winnings were given four times the change they deserved for nearly two days. The machine paid out more than $27,500 in ill-gotten gains before the glitch was reported by an honest patron.
