Heading: Garner's Written Statement

Text: ¶ 11. Garner's written statement that Gorman reviewed read as follows: There were a customer dispute on Saturday 4/8/95 at 4:55 p.m. on cool million machine # 5638. I heard the bell ringing on cool million when I went to the machine it had one coin bet and was flashing hopper empty and the winning symbols were 1 cool million on the line one above the line and 1 cool million on the line. I went into the machine and the coins were jam tight so I had to move the coins around so that they could have room to pay out of hopper. The customer were starting to scream, I told her that it was only a jam, but she kept telling the other customers who were standing around that she had hit the cool millions. After the jam were clear, I told the customer that the machine would pay out her five coins and it did. The customer wasn't pleased she said she hit the cool million. I explain to her what she had won, the machine reads any two cool million or two cherry on pay line with 1 coin bet wins $5.00's. She later talked to Mr. Bud Flemmon. /s/ Sandra Garner The computer printout verified Garner's statement to Gorman-showing that when she opened the door to correct the tilt, only one coin had been played. ¶ 12. Finally, Gorman testified that if the Cool Millions primary progressive jackpot been won, the slot machine would have locked up; that no one at Splash Casino could have reset the jackpot and that only a CDS representative could reset it; that the machine would have sent a signal to CDS that there was a jackpot; and that the two lights on top of the machine would have been illuminated but not flashing. Gorman testified that none of these occurred. Gorman testified that the machine's light was blinking, indicating it was in tilt mode. Gorman also stated that the tape shows Freeman playing the machine with one coin after Garner unclogged the machine. Therefore, Gorman's opinion was that Freeman had not won the primary progressive jackpot.
