Wynn Macau Feels Woman’s Fury

The Wynn Macau is in the news again, and this time it is not necessarily where they want to be. The casino is allegedly responsible for a woman losing a large chunk of change, and she is demanding retribution for her losses. Depending on whom you believe it could turn out to be a very interesting court case.

The woman, a businesswoman from the Zhejiang province, has been playing the slot machines at the Wynn Macau for two years. They have always been more than happy to take her money, but this time something went wrong. Up until this point, the woman has been very lucky at the slot machines, and had favorites that she liked to play.

This time however, when she came to play she says that one of their employees told her to play a specific slot machine as it was “lucky” and would pay her out well. However, she spent three days playing the slot machine and at the end of it she ended up down HK$13 million.

She left and came back to play the slot machines for the Lunar New Year with her friends. She was still losing but kept playing, only leaving to go home and renew her visa. After three months of playing this particular slot machine she was down HK$40 million. Noticeably unhappy, she says that she was escorted to her room and told to try her luck again later.

When she went down the next morning she decided to forego the losing slot machine and her and her friends started playing 20 slot machines in quick succession. This she thought would get her back her losses. However, the manager came over and told her she could not play more than two slot machines at a time and told her and her friends that they had to leave.

The woman is taking the matter to court, asking for proper compensation and an apology from the casino. She asked for her betting and payout records but the casino would only give her the payouts. She has asked the government for assistance in seeing justice served.
