Something about the way this is worded tells us the gambler remains a non-millionaire- although he might have a couple of thousand bucks to whittle away on more slots: Update: Well, that was quick.We just received a statement from Seminole Hard Rock with the news that they've reached a 'good faith' settlement, for an undisclosed amount, with Seebeck. From an ABC news report: Seebeck says he is looking for a lawyer to help him comprehend theĬonvoluted federal Indian gaming regulations to possibly pursue legalĪction. Seebeck probably shouldn't hold his breath for a similar reversal concerning his own enormous jackpot- although you can't blame him for trying. After the story hit was reported in the news, the tribe decided to pay the full amount. He was even given an oversized check for the amount- before casino officials attributed the win to a 'computer glitch' and told him he would not be paid. In 2007, a Sunny Isles man was playing the slots at Seminole Hard Rock Resort & Casino in Hollywood when it appeared that he hit a jackpot worth more than $259,000. It's not the first time the Seminole tribe has pulled a similar gambit. They even attempted to coerce Seebeck into agreeing to that in writing, but he refused.

The maximum jackpot on the machine is a relatively paltry $90,000- and the gambler wouldn't get that payout either. After investigating the win, casino officials told him that the machine had malfunctioned and he wouldn't be receiving a cent. Bill Seebeck thought he was set for life. On Sunday, a gambler at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Tampa was playing a $4 slot machine when its bells started ringing and an enormous figure began flashing on its jackpot screen: $166,666,666.65.
