In a similar incident relating to the casino, a woman won $2 million on a casino slot machine but couldn't collect her winnings due to a machine malfunction. 

Roney Beal, a resident of New Jersey, experienced the thrill of victory quickly turning into disappointment at Bally's Casino in Atlantic City. 

She decided to try her luck on a Wheel of Fortune slot machine. Roney enthusiastically played the game, investing hundreds of dollars, until the wheel landed on the word "Jackpot" accompanied by the dollar sign.

She heard the words "You won" and witnessed golden 3D coins appearing with flashing lights.

However, her joy soon turned to heartbreak. 

When she pressed the button to call for assistance, a message appeared on the screen stating that the machine had a technical malfunction. 

She was shocked to learn that the casino refused to pay out the winnings she believed she had earned.

According to the casino staff, the machine had a "reel tilt" error that invalidated the win.

Following this information, Roney suspected that a staff member had opened the machine and attempted to fix it, but she refused further intervention.

Instead, she was only offered a much smaller compensation than the significant amount she believed she had won.

Roney's lawyer, Mike Di Croce, suspects fraud and alleges that casino staff may have tampered with the evidence of the win.
