Casino loses $27,000 from kiosk after employee error
January 24, 2008
Canada.com: While many machines at Casino Regina, located in Saskatchewan, are intended to offer patrons a payout now and again, the wrong machine was dishing out cash in October — to the tune of $27,000 — the Saskatchewan Gaming Corp. announced. On Oct. 26, an employee of Casino Regina accidentally loaded a self-redemption kiosk with a cassette containing $20 bills rather than five-dollar bills. For the one and a half days before the error was caught, whenever a patron went to redeem winnings or break a large bill, they got more than their actual money's worth. While the SGC and the casino will not say how many people benefited from the error, SGC president and chief executive Marty Klyne says one person alone raked in about $11,000 in one day. That large sum was among the $13,400 the SGC has managed to recover.
