Robert Taylor is a lucky man. He won a progressive slot machine jackpot worth more than $229,000 during a trip to Las Vegas in early January.
Unfortunately, he didn’t know it at the time. Neither did the Treasure Island Resort & Casino where he won it; his machine malfunctioned, leaving both sides unaware of the windfall. By the time the Nevada Gaming Control Board and the casino did a full review of the system and found out the error, Taylor had already returned home to Arizona.
That left the NGCB to play detective. All it had was a face on security footage. But after pouring over the tapes at Treasure Island and other Vegas casinos, interviewing witnesses, and even pulling the rideshare data of the cars that shuttled him around The Strip, the board found its man.
