Heading: Flemmons's Testimony

Text: ¶ 19. Flemmons testified that the slot machine pays out after a hopper tilt is cleared as in Freeman's situation. He stated that the SDS computer report showed that there was a hopper jam, an employee entered the machine, the door opened, then the door closed, and finally five coins were dropped into the tray. Further, upon cross-examination, Flemmons stated that it is impossible to have a progressive jackpot followed by a hopper failure, because the machine will not permit anything else to happen until the jackpot is paid and the machine is reset. Moreover, he stated that a slot machine reel could be moved, but that it would not impact a jackpot once it had been triggered. Once the computer has selected the pay line combination, physically adjusting the reel would not alter the outcome. Finally, he stated that the computer report is totally in agreement with Garner's written report.
