Thanks for those who have posted just how much money these wins involved, from what I can see we have two players whom accumulated wins of over 868,000 Euro`s, an average return of 434,000 Euro`s per player, it is reported there were 6 players in total, so taking what little evidence we have it is suffice to say that the amount won could be around 2.6 million Euro`s, let`s skim over the sparse evidence.......
1). There are many casinos that have the slot in question in their portfolio of slots, as of yet there are no other casinos reported to have suffered this malfunction, so it appears that Sky Vegas was the only casino affected.
2). All six players were using Euro`s as their default currency.
3). All were playing the exact same slot at identical times using hit and raise strategies, using Euro`s.
4). Sky Vegas are the only entity whom knows those affected betting patterns and possible irregularities - Including bet stakes and games that would be played during a normal session for them.
5). When registering at any casino it is written in their respective T&C`s that monies won resulting from software malfunctions will be null and void.
6). The above includes hacking also.
7). There would have been a cooling off period between the time of withdrawal and the confiscating of funds by Sky Vegas, during this time the players who won would be in a state of euphoria after a once in a lifetime win of this magnitude, although it is not mandatory to post screenshots of wins totalling upto and over of half a million Euro`s, it is pretty much par for the course that these wins could be broadcast all over the internet curtsy of gambling related websites or the main Sky site, were there any screenshots of these hits posted anywhere?, if so, where?
8). Of course it is possible that this odds defying anomaly could have occurred perfectly legitimately, but, were there other players playing the exact same time using other currencies whom were not affected (this appears to be the case as they have listed this as a preference), thus causing Sky security personnel to have grave enough concerns to confiscate winnings pending an official enquiry?.
This scenario can only have 3 possible endings........
A). It was a software malfunction meaning that Sky were well within their rights to confiscate the winnings (check their T&C`s).
B). It was not a case of a software glitch or hacking - Players will receive their winnings.
C). It was proved to be that the relevant wins were induced via some form of hacking.
As bad as this case appears, Sky are well within their rights to have taken the course of action they have undertaken.

Thats all I gotta say on the matter. Tracey I'm sure can take it from here now she's found the thread (if she wants to which I doubt she will after the previous comment about shutting her piehole!)
