A technical issue at Swedish state-owned casinos, Casino Cosmopol, led to several slot machines paying out way too much winnings than they should have. Aftonbladet.se, Sweden's biggest news site, reports that one player won more than 600,000 SEK (approx. 62,000 EURO) within a month.
Aftonbladet was in contact with the big winner, who wants to be anonymous.

how lucky you have to be to go in right time at this casino,to choose this slot who have mistake and who will give so much money!congratulation to them on huge winning and hope that they will spend it well!
Wow hahahah I never play slot machines when I go to casinos as it is usually roulette I intend to chose and I hope one day something similar happen to the machine I would play at where I would for example earn 20 times my best amount instead of 2. But that's something that happen very very rarely and as said above you would need to be at the right spot at the right time...

I want this machine from Sweden shipped to mh local casino, i just don't understand if players say that they win a lot of money and understood that something is wrong why did they leave, I would play for as many hours as i can and then call my wife to change me until i sleep some time and then I go back.
Against the background of reports that the next player was denied payment of winnings, this is certainly great news !! .... I congratulate all those visitors to the Swedish casino who could get to the right place at the right time and have increased their budget well

Someone should seek for the one that did the maintenance in those machines and changed the payout rate for them More than one slot started paying more than normal, doesnt seem like a coincidence. They managed to get a profit till the management noticed. And now they cant go after the winners demanding the money back
That's definetely not right Slot machines paying out money that's outrageous the funny thing is that money is going to end up back in those Slot Machines anyway so you could say no harm no foul

I like to read that in Swedencasino's are state owned, at keast this one the post is all about, don't know if all casino's in Sweden are state owned, but if so then this is a very good move, people lose a lot of money and instead of it going to greedy businessmen it goes back to government and back as public services
In principle, this news could not be reported to the media because the technical failure is just a small miscalculation in the organization ... this happens in many organizations, but in this case the message is probably just advertising ??

A slot machine has no house edge when... a storm running through the city and makes the electric grids unresponsive - causing power outages or whatnot.

aye just like gerimantas dude pointed this out and i missed this when i read the news in the first time- a state owned casino's chain is deffo a good thing, same as state owned alcohol, tobacco and hookers monopoly, degens have tendency to overly spend on these "necessities" and then ask for government to bail them out when they have no money to buy bread.

When the key holders of the slot machines are paying the players and they open the slots, to do the reset, they can easily change the payout percentage It was an inside job im telling you, No faulty machines there
The percentage of winnings can certainly be changed in the internal settings of the slot, but apparently someone installed a percentage higher and told his secret accomplice and if you follow the whole chain, it turns out that this is not a technical failure but the crime of the century

don't know if it's just here back in the wilderness also known as Lithuania whenever a slot machine has technical issue it just swallows your money instead of paying out more or is Sweden a total slot machine heaven... lord save the Swedish slots from being exploited by immigrants and ruining Sweden's economy in the process
