Ontario man, 82, says he’ll ‘go after’ $10K in denied casino winnings
An 82-year-old man who says he was denied $10,000 he won at an Ontario casino plans to “go after them” to claim his winnings.
John Marando said in an interview that he started going to the OLG Slots at Mohawk Racetrack near Milton, Ont., earlier this year. He said he won $1,000 “a couple of times” from the same machine and on Feb. 17 won about $400.
Marando said he cashed in his winnings and decided to put another $20 in the machine on the way out. On the ninth two-dollar play, he said things started happening.
“All of a sudden ding, ding, ding, and I see this thing going round and round, one thousand, two thousand … $10,000, and $10,002, by the way” he said Wednesday from his Milton home.
