I went to play pokies at the Algester Sports club in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. I want everyone to listen carefully and think twice before playing there because I had a very bad experience.
One day, while I was playing, I was sitting at a machine and placing good bets. I had won around three hundred dollars. Suddenly, the machine showed an error message, something like a "door open" notification. Then an option appeared asking me to select "Yes" or "No." When I pressed "Yes," the money I had won disappeared immediately.
A short time later, another game started, but my previous winnings were gone. I told the staff that I had not received my winnings. They came and pretended to check the machine, but they did not refund my money. They said they would speak to the boss and the technician and get back to me, but I never received a call back or any update.
There was also a woman sitting next to me who witnessed everything. She told the staff that she saw with her own eyes that I had won and that they should refund my money. Even after that, they still did not return my winnings.
This incident happened at Algester Sports club. Please be careful and stay aware
