Am I being naive when the following article shocks the heck out of me?

Aren't relationships supposed to be based on trust? If you don't trust the person that you are with, then just why are you with them? I also find it interest that women spy more often then men but that could just be a byproduct of more men cheat then women.
The next article troubles me even more. Oh how generous of the casino they gave her a free breakfast and refunded her twenty bucks. Personally, I think the woman should sue the casino and make them prove from computer tapes that it was in fact an error. In my mind this gives the casino way to much leeway. The casino can avoid any jackpot by just stating it was a mistake.

What do you think the casino should do? What would you do if you won a jackpot one minute and the next minute it was gone?
What do you think of spying on your spouse or siginificant other? Good idea, bad idea?
My answers. The casino should have paid the jackpot. That would have turned bad press into good press. I imagine that a lot of people will stay away from the casino now. As to spying, almost always a bad idea.

The first article doesn't shock me. It's a Brave New World out there with all the new means of being at least a little bit unfaithful, so the 1/3 number doesn't even surprise me very much. Sure, relationships should be based on trust, but that seems in short supply these days. I can't personally imagine spying on anybody's private mail, e- or otherwise, but I never had to face the possibility. It's hard to know if you'd be above such shenanigans if you were suspicious and had the opportunity to snoop.
As to the other one, well, interesting. $42 million seems like a pretty big return for a penny, and maybe they really did have a computer glitch. I think they should have given her the stated and posted maximum return for the machine of $251,000 along with her free breakfast, free room, and the $20 she'd put into the slot.
I'll be interested to hear what the Division of Gaming says after the investigation.
Call me naive, as well. I guess this will put the PIs out of business, in terms of spying on spouses. Like Pat, I can't imagine reading anyone else's emails or mail or checking out their browser sites. Like you, I have to ask where the trust is. There has to be some inherent problem(s) in the relationship, if one needs to spy on one's spouse. I thank goodness, I've never felt any need to do that, either before or after the advent of widespread email.
The casino - again, I'm in agreement with Pat. Okay, the fact it showed a jackpot larger than the machine is to pay out may indicate a malfunction. However, this is not the woman's fault and it did say she won. IMHO, the casino and manufacturer should be responsible for paying her the amount the machine would pay on a legitimate hit. Even if the Div of Gaming finds a glitch, I think the two parties have a responsibility to ante up. I suspect both can afford it.
Hi Pat
I love your solution re the casino, to me that seems like the most logical way to go.
I know this is the naive reaction but I think if I was suspicious I'd confront the person before I'd start spying which I can't really see myself doing either.

Hi DR
I think it would be great to put the PIs out of business as it relates to marriage. Find lost love ones that is a where a PI should morally look for his business. And of course you are right, there is some other problem in their marriage before they start spying.
I win you, the casino and manufacturing both should pay. I think the woman might have a lawsuit.
Bill
