Two PAGCOR employees charged with falsifying slot machine jackpot

Two employees of Philippines gaming regulator PAGCOR have been charged with falsifying a slot machine receipt in order to steal a Php36,200 (US$675) jackpot prize.

The incident, which took place at PAGCOR’s Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino on 20 September 2017, allegedly saw the regulator’s slot machine head Lope Cristobal and slot data control employee Mark Paul Fransisco falsify the slot machine receipt system to make it appear that a customer had won a jackpot. Later checks revealed that no such jackpot had been won.

The casino subsequently filed a complaint with Prosecutor Simaco Labata.

According to Labata’s resolution, issued this week, “The act of respondents in preparing a fictitious receipt with an amount of Php36,200, making it appear there was a customer who won a winning jackpot from the slot machine, constitutes a crime of falsification of public document.”
