That's your opinion, fine by me. I think it's unreasonable. The gambling, however goes one way, from the people to the casino, the casino only invests and saves as far as capital goes.

And I suppose you know the difference between an error, and not even a substancial one, but just nominal (the machine showing more than the person should win), and a voluntary act like you described. The consequences cannot be the same you would be breaking a simple principle of justice.

Besides there's lot of things to consider. We're talking about Argentina here, not the first world. If there's a thing that marks Argentina's history is the constant failure of enterprises outside agriculture. Now, you tell me that the progress of a society should be sacrificed for the luxury of only one person.

If it's still an error I think no company should pay in the industry of gambling and if there's no damage, this includes prosperous countries like USA. Just go back in your own history, I think that the industry of gambling is one of the pillars that helped the USA to rise from economic depression. Just imagine if their prosperity had been ruined by ocasional mistakes.
