Everyone has to show ID for a jackpot. I wasn't at the table but observed and heard the following buzz. Turned out that both the winner and loser were WAY underage (18!!!! and 20) They lost their shares - the table stakes were still paid out. LOL.

Failing to pay the jackpot to the legal gamblers because someone at the table was underage would be grounds for a nice lawsuit. The players can't control whom the casino lets play and should not be punished for the casino's misdeeds. Hopefully the gaming control gestapo would swoop in and side with the legal players.
But yeah, the underage players are SOL. If you're gonna go to Vegas and gamble while underage, stay below the radar. Don't win any slot jackpots, don't crack the Carribean Stud jackpot, don't hit a bad beat poker jackpot, and don't go to the cage with $5K and try to cash out.
