It's like the black jack dealer throwing them a 21 and then replacing the ace with a 6, "Sorry, that ace was a glitch".
It's nothing like that. It's like discovering 5 Queens in the deck during a poker hand, and saying "oops, give everyone their money back, and we'll deal the round over again... with a real deck."

And, yeah, that's generally what's done in that scenario (which actually happens from time to time at casinos).

In other news, my cat's breath smells like cat food, and that is also irrelevant to the discussion at hand.
