Broke Glass On Slot Machines

Old to New

Jul 13, 2012 He says angry gamblers will punch, kick or slap a slot machine that doesn’t garner a jackpot, shattering the glass. Sometimes it costs those gamblers more money to pay for the damage than they lost. It is some form of shatterproof glass because not one single piece of glass, at least from what I can see, is loose or broken off. Shatter proof glass funny stuff had old patio door glass and i try to cut with a 5' hand grinder on 2x4's on dirt. I grind 1/4' in and it makes funny groan and bam whole think shattered in small pieces which are.

ABOUT US

My first pachinko machine was a Sankyo I purchased from Pachinko Palace in 1978. I loved to play it so much that I took it apart to see how it worked. I knew then that I had the talent to work on them because when I put it back together everything worked. I got my second pachinko, a Nishijin, at a second hand store as part of a deal on a used washing machine in 1992. I started to see what was happening to the old machines that were often stored in barns, attics and garages collecting dust and falling apart due to disrepair. I started Pachinko Restorations in 2009 to help people get their machines back up and working again. In 2013 I acquired Vintage Pachinko LLC with their inventory of parts and machines, Pachinko Restorations has one of the largest collection of vintage pachinko parts and machines.

In the Final Fight and Street Fighter II video games, there is a bonus stage during which you beat up a car. I would imagine this would be great fun in real life, even more so if you inexplicably turned into a panther afterward like at the end of Michael Jackson’s “Black or White” video. I can’t say I often have the burning desire to destroy things, but seeing as I have been in a number of casinos in my life, I can certainly understand why someone might occasionally want to take a whack at a slot machine. And apparently that’s something that happens with some regularity at Resorts World Casino in Queens. Unfortunately for one man, the casino thinks he was going for a video game bonus round when he claims he was not.

Taken to the “back room”

The New York Post reports that Bronx resident and a regular high roller at Resorts World, Pren Mrijaj, was accused of breaking a slot machine at the casino in 2018. According to a lawsuit he filed, he was playing roulette last year when casino security guards “dragged” him to the basement.

They told him that he broke a slot machine, but would not furnish any evidence except for their word. After several hours, police came and arrested Mrijaj, but the case was eventually dismissed.

Despite that terrible experience, Mrijaj decided he wanted to gamble at Resorts World again over a year later. He called the casino to verify that he would be allowed entry; he was apparently told that there was no problem.

So, Mrijaj returned to the casino and had a great night at the slots, winning $5,000.

That was where is great night ended, though. Security once again escorted him to the basement, where they told him he owed $1,600 for the slot machine they alleged he broke in 2018. He ended up paying. The article does not explain why he paid for the slot machine, but one would assume it was so he would be allowed to go home.

In his lawsuit, Mrijaj alleges that “At least 150 people have been improperly detained by Casino personnel.”

Breaking slot machines is a thing

The Queens District Attorney’s office told the Post that there have been 493 for criminal mischief at that casino since it opened in 2011, many of which were for damaging slot machines.

It is the glass front of the slot machine that is most often broken.

“If a person gets mad, they hit it with their bag or punch it with their fists and break it,” casino security expert Alan Zajic told the Post.

Zajic added that this behavior is much more common on the East Coast than in Las Vegas, for some reason.

Resorts World gave no comment to the Post on the allegations.
