Veronica’s story is, unfortunately, not very rare. As slot machines grow more and more sophisticated – and at this point they’re basically video games – so do malfunctions become more common. In perhaps an even more infuriating case, 44-year-old Katrina Bookman thought she won an incredible $42,949,672.
