Comment on How can casinos stay open when they lose so much money?

Yes, this is how it works. This is the regulated language. All symbols have pays associated with them.
I will give you another example: You hit red seven, red seven, red seven on a progressive machine. The progressive displays a value of $1,079 (and does not reset after the win) but the machine only pays $1,000. This is a problem with the settings of the machine, and the casino is required to pay the progressive amount of $1079 and possibly be fined for having a misconfigured machine. This is because the pay table lists this as awarding the progressive prize. Pay table is law.
I also suspect that the machine did not display a win of $43 million at all. I suspect the glitch occurred either when the win was added to her credits or when the ticket was printed (an error in memory, not in game logic).

Huh, that’s pretty neat! Would not trust casinos myself, tho.
