She's also seeking damages from the casino for failing to maintain the game, as well as the company that makes and maintains the particular slot machine. After all, a free steak doesn't do much to cleanse one's palate of such devastating disappointment, and now she's suing the gambling establishment, demanding the nearly $43 million payout. She didn't accept either as a consolation. Instead, the casino told her she was only entitled to the $2.25 she had left in the machine when it allegedly went haywire and for her troubles, they offered her a steak dinner on the house. She even snapped a selfie in front of the screen, which was flashing 'printing cash ticket $42,949,672.76.' Except, according to the casino, the jackpot was a mistake - a malfunction in the machine - and she wasn't going home a newly minted multi-millionaire. She claims its lights started flashing and bells were going off - all signs that she had hit the jackpot. Last August while gambling at Resorts World Casino, Bookman thought she won an insane amount of money on the Sphinx slot machine.
