DraftKings gets slapped with fine for online slots that paid zilch

DraftKings and White Hat Gaming have been fined a total of $22,500 by Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection due to a malfunctioning online slot machine that failed to pay out for over a week. Between August 15-21, 2023, the machine generated nearly $24,000 in player bets without issuing any winnings, affecting 522 players. The issue stemmed from an improperly loaded file, which was resolved only after state officials intervened. DraftKings faced a larger fine of $19,000 for inadequate communication regarding the glitch, while White Hat Gaming was fined $3,500.
