FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida (WPVI) -- Jan Flato says when he allowed his friend to hit the button on the slot machine for luck, he had no idea that move would cost him $100,000.
Flato says he was with his friend, Marina Navarro, and was playing video poker at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino when he hit it big.
Lights flashed and the pay line showed that he had won the $100,000 jackpot or so he thought.
When it was time to collect the winnings, he received some bad news.
Once managers of the casino analyzed the video, it showed that Navarro pushed the button, which made her the rightful winner of the jackpot.
Seminole spokesman Gary Bitner couldn't say much, but did reiterate the rule when it comes to gambling: "The person who pushes a slot machine button or pulls the arm is the person who wins the jackpot."
Flato says Navarro took the money.
Weeks later, she allegedly sent Flato a text message asking, "Still hate me?" He responded, "How could you do that to me?" And her response? "I miss you."
Navarro said Flato became distressed when they found out the jackpot wasn't his. "Jan all of a sudden went ballistic," she said. "He started screaming in front of everybody."
Navarro then said Flato sent her threatening text messages. One message read, "Having me as an enemy...not good," followed by "We'll see who made the Big mistake. It won't be me."
Navarro said she offered Flato some of the winnings, but after the texts he sent, she rescinded the offer.

My assumption is.. He took shorty out was tryna impress her with his high rolling. And ended up getting finessed. Sounds about right..

Stupid rule.
The winnings should go to whoever put the money in the machine. -
I'd have given him $90,000 cuz if it wasn't for my luck you wouldn't have gotten ? .

"Never a reason to hit a woman"

When she hit him with this...
And his reaction is this:

Uh yes, you specifically ask for my good luck cuz you know I got some, you are sharing some of that. I'm not gonna be greedy cuz that's how you make enemies like this poor guy said. -

Was probably actually her new dude ? with the old dude over the text. -
Is this a rule everywhere or just Florida or just that casino?
I can imagine the owners smoking a peace pipe and being like "You know how we can get them cacs? Make a rule where their girl takes off with the money... call it The Indian Giver"... -
So ? can legit wait on someone to put money in a machine, press the button, and get paid? Mane if I was dude, soon as they said the money isn't mine, I woulda started DDTing everybody in sight.

An ironic thing about this whole thing is.. Had they given him the winnings.. I'm pretty sure he would have spent a good chunk of the money on shorty... Vacations and gifts and ? ..
