Ah, US cops. Someone found a computer bug? Point an assault rifle at their face. My instincts about this are that the company who produced the buggy software should be held responsible for the casinos' losses. Presumably there's a contract between casinos and the machine manufacturers. What does it say about responsibility for losses due to manufacturing defects?Nestor says he started toward the stairs, his hands over his head, when he came face-to-face with a trooper in full riot gear. “Get on the floor!” yelled the trooper, leveling his AR-15 at Nestor's face. Nestor complied. The cop ratcheted the handcuffs on Nestor's wrists, yanked him to his feet, and marched him into the kitchen.
