    Gambler loses $100,000 casino jackpot because he let his glamorous companion push the slot machine button and she still hasn't given him a single CENT

    Two former friends have fallen out after winning a $100,000 jackpot at a Florida casino because of where the chips fell.

    When Jan Flato, 66, was gambling at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino near Fort Lauderdale when he told his companion Marina Medvedeva Navarro to pull the lever for him 'for good luck'. :smh:

    When the reels spun to reveal the winning numbers, Jan was ecstatic, until he tried to collect his money - and clerks told him the winnings were rightfully Navarro's.

    Since then, the two have been in a furious row over the winnings.

    'Upstairs, the eye in the sky says she technically touched the button, so we have to pay her,' Flato told the Miami Herald of the January 31st incident.

    A spokesperson for the casino confirmed that after surveillance footage showed Navarro, 35, pressing the button to launch the reels, she became the rightful owner of the jackpot.

    'The person who pushes a slot machine button or pulls the arm is the person who wins the jackpot,' said Seminole spokesman Gary Bitner.

    Flato, however, says he paid the $50-a-spin on the Double Top Dollar machine, and used his gambling card to do so.

    'I said, "Marina, what are you doing?" and she gets up and walks out,' Flato said, according to WSVN.

    Navarro later disputed this claim, saying that it was her who funded the fated spin.

    The married mortgage broker who lives in Aventura, Florida, claims she originally planned to share the jackpot with her friend, but after he began threatening her, she changed her mind.

    When the $50,000 check and another $50,000 in cash was handed over to Navarro, her companion did not take the loss lightly.

    'Jan, all of the sudden, went ballistic. He started screaming in front of everybody,' she told the Herald.

    She claims he also sent her a number of aggressive text messages, one of which read: 'Having me as an enemy... Not good.'

    She responded to him several weeks later, asking if he still hated her.:rofl:

    Flato reportedly texted her back asking, 'How could you do that to me?'

    The 66-year-old moved to Aventura from Las Vegas a few years prior to help care for his elderly mother.

    Navarro maintains that her former friend is now trying to ruin her reputation, but Flato says he simply wants to raise awareness for the seemingly unfair rule.

    'I'm a hard-working professional and [Flato] is playing with my honor,' she said. :dead:

    Her personal Facebook page has been flooded with hateful comments from users who caught wind of the story.

    One man named Lee Bradbury commented on a number of her posts calling her a 'gold digging piece of Sh!t'.

    Another speculated that Flato got 'played' by Navarro and was 'trying to schmooze his way into her pants'.

    Flato, who added he first met Navarro at the high-roller room at Gulfstream Park in 2015, said he simply wanted 'everybody to know what happened so it won't happen to them.'

    He continued: 'I've played slots all over the country and never had a problem like that. Even the people handing out the money said: 'This isn't right.'

    Another old fool got bit by a young hoe. And of course she kept texts on him. But the casino's policy is bullshit. If he staked her and she pushed the button and the casino's cameras confirmed it, the money should be split 50-50. I bet the wife is pissed.

    I would sue the hell out of her and the casino. If l funded it, and was playing the slot, the money is mine.
    She should be grateful to get a penny. 50/50 seems more than fair, but what she did and is doing.. is playing with emotional fire.
    Not worth the extra $50,000 if it might tick this furious man off beyond words.You don't fuck with people's livelihood and their money.
    What a bitch.

    Wow that's crazy! It's a very common thing for people to have someone push the button or pull the handle "for luck". Rolling or blowing on the dice, touching the cards, etc too. I've done all those things and watched many people do the same. When they win it has always gone to the one who was putting up the money....not a thought of anything different (although they will usually toss some money to whoever was the good luck charm, much like they will toss some to the dealer). And I've watched some win much more than that...part of the joys (sarcasm) of growing up around some professional gamblers.

    I agree with the casino, she played the game, not him. That's what his thirsty ass gets.

    Nothing like money to divide people. No if he lost is she responsible for giving him the money since she pushed the button?

    No she isn't, just like she isn't entitled to his money when it wins.

    Let me guess..you're the type who finds a wallet and keeps it instead of returning it.
