Nevada Court Rules Against Slot Player

CARSON CITY, Nevada -- The Nevada Supreme Court has turned down the appeal of a woman who claimed she was entitled to a $97,823 slot machine jackpot at the old Frontier Hotel and Gambling Hall on the Las Vegas Strip.

Heather Devon sued the casino, saying club officials induced her to leave the slot machine she was playing on Nov. 7, 1991, and promised to keep it closed and locked until she returned. But she said the casino opened it and another player hit the jackpot. In a one-paragraph order, the court on Friday upheld a District Court jury ruling in favor of the casino.

The Frontier has since been sold and is now called the New Frontier.
