This was posted to Facebook by a woman who was upset about a likely multipler-run-up scam, which took place at Planet Hollywood:
Some theorized that the guy was hoping to run up a lot of money, then cash out and claim it was his money, because of the casino rule that the person hitting the button is the winner of the money.
However, I countered that this wouldn't be so easy to pull off. This is true if two people are playing together and one presses the button to hit a jackpot. However, if this is a targeted scam seeking to take advantage of a stranger like this, the victim could complain and would have some recourse. Additionally, the scammer would likely be barred after the security camera would show this was the case.
I believe this was an Utlimate X run-up scam. Dude convinces unsuspecting ploppies to switch to an Ultimate X machine and let him play for them. He plays super fast so they can't see all the multipliers he's running up and then switching games/denominations and leaving for himself to clear later. The unsuspecting ploppy doesn't understand what he gets out of the whole thing, as he lets the person cash out, and doesn't ask for a penny, even if they win.
What do you guys think?
