I'm not so confident in her chances of having a case. Now, I'm not too familiar with that machine, but I do know that all slots have a warning on them 'All malfunctions void payouts' or something similar on them. If the casino forked out some cash for the 'jackpot', then it may be a pitiful consolidation payment, but I can't say for sure.
The machine is certainly not mechanical, you're correct. They should be able to go into the machine history and see what happened, and whether or not a legitimate win had occurred.
On a related note, I have seen 'ghost jackpots' hit before in my experience, and they were fictitious jackpots of $1,000,000+.
where is said video?
What video? The articles in the OP indicate that she wasn't able to record anything beyond a picture, which is understandable. We have the same practices here, no pictures or videos allowed.

'She recorded the machine on her phone'. Do you say you 'record a picture'?

Ah, right. I misread the article, I was under the impression that she just snapped a shot of the machine. Regardless, video proof won't really do much for her case if the machine history says otherwise.

The house charge for that is $75. On Saturday there's a $500 tournament with one $500 rebuy. If you take the rebuy that's only a 7.5% vig, pretty small by most standards.The poker room is non-smoking but there is no wall separating it from the rest of the casino, which is smoking. There's just a rail. Hollywood florida casino and poker room.
Why is that understandable? What possible bad can come from someone recording a machine?Woman Wins 8 Million Casino
It's only protecting the casinos ass in case someone has a legitimate jackpot and the casino wants to cry foul.
There was some video recently at a NY casino where machines were stealing credits from people.
