    Toll machine pays out at Kansas Turnpike booth near casino

    MULVANE — Officials say a malfunctioning toll machine spat out coins instead of accepting money near a Wichita area casino.

    The Wichita Eagle reports that Kansas Turnpike Authority spokeswoman Rachel Bell says the agency learned Tuesday morning about the problem with the machine at the Mulvane exit.

    The agency then inadvertently divulged details about the mishap when it sent a text alert to its public subscribers. The note said there was “NO WAY” to know the exact dollar amount that was taken.

    KTA says the message was meant to be internal but made it out into the public realm after someone newly responsible for disseminating messages through the KTA’s alert system “just sent it to the wrong group” of subscribers.

    Bell wasn’t immediately sure how many customers used the machine while it was malfunctioning.
