Cell Phone Camera May be Key to A Players Winnings

As we were trolling the news this morning, we found this very interesting article.

A man who claims he hit a $737,203 jackpot on a nickel slot machine has hired an attorney after the club claimed the big win was a huge mistake.
Sornpaserd Unkeowannulack, 31, was playing the nickel slots at the Table Mountain Casino on Friday, when the "Deep Pockets" machine announced he hit the jackpot. But when Unkeowannulack began celebrating, officials at the Indian gaming club said the machine was broken and he wasn't eligible for any prize.

"They immediately said there was a malfunction," said Unkeowannulack, a self-described professional gambler who lives in Clovis.

Unkeowannulack took a picture of the machine with his cell phone, and his friend called attorney Scott Kinney.
