Incident Summary
I won $1,097 on slots in Wyoming as a 19-year-old, but staff claimed the venue required patrons to be 21+. They then reduced my payout to $7.30. Is this fair?
hey, im sorry to break it but i think its how rules work. if u cant be 21, they can adjust payouts. might be worth chat legal or something but its kinda in their favor.
Hey there! I totally get why you’d be frustrated—it feels pretty unfair to have your win essentially wiped out because of an age issue. Even though casinos have to follow local laws and might argue that rules require everyone to be 21, it’s really disappointing when a big win turns sour like that. It might help to get some clarification from the casino or even a gaming authority if you haven’t already. They might explain the exact policy behind this or why they think taking the payout down to $7.30 is justified. Not that it makes the situation any better, but knowing all the ins and outs might give you some peace of mind or a chance to contest it properly. Hang in there and I hope you find a way to get a fair answer on this! 
i had a simlar experiance where strict regulations ended up costing me a win too. it seemed like the casino was followed their guidelines to the letter and didn’t give any wiggle room. while it might appear unfair to reduce a win to such a trivial amount, often these policies are enacted in compliance with local laws. i found that addressing the matter with a clear document trail and reaching out for legal advice provided some clarity, even if it didn’t fully compensate for the situation. it might help to check if any appeals can be made.
hey, i agree. its super frustrating when a big win gets cut down to almost nothing due to strict age rules. maybe double-check with a legal advisor but for now it seems the casino is just sticking to outdated regulations. good luck!
Hey, I totally get the frustration you’re feeling right now. It’s pretty nutty when you hit a big win and then everything gets derailed by some rule you might not have even been fully aware of. Being in that position is super disheartening, especially when it feels like the system just decides to clip your wings. I’d vibe with the idea of checking in with someone who really knows the ins and outs of casino regulations – sometimes hearing from an expert or even chatting with others who’ve been in similar spots can shed some light on potential avenues for a recourse or at least help you understand the reasoning a bit better. Don’t lose hope though; sometimes these stories can lead to changes if enough people speak up about their experiences. Keep your chin up and stay curious about your options, and definitely keep us in the loop about what comes next .
