As bitchy as it sounds, if someone said a $100,000 jackpot was rightfully mine, I’d probably take it, too. I’d be pissed too if my friend pushed the button on my slot machine and won a lot of money and didn’t give it to me.īut I also don’t blame Navarro for taking the cash and getting the hell out of there. Obviously, Flato is still really salty about the whole $100,000 incident, and I don’t blame him. Can you imagine how shitty that must feel? Just when you think you won 100 grand, your friend is like “Nah, that’s mine,” and takes the money and bolts, not even leaving you a goddamn cent.Īnd apparently, weeks later, Navarro sent Flato a text saying, “Still hate me?” to which he replied, “How could you do that to me?” So yeah, he still hates her.

“I said, ‘Marina, what are you doing?’ and she gets up and walks out,” Flato told local news site, WSVN.

But nope! Navarro took the cash and got the hell out of there. In a situation like this, it might be a nice gesture to split the money, right? I’d think so. “The person who pushes a slot machine button or pulls the arm is the person who wins the jackpot,” said Seminole spokesman Gary Bitner. Jan Flato, clearly very upset about not winning the $100,000.

“Upstairs, the eye in the sky says she technically touched the button, so we have to pay her,” Flato told the Miami Herald, his bitterness and contempt definitely palpable. The hefty jackpot was given to Navarro, because she was the one who had pushed the button, and according to some kind of weird casino rule, whoever pushes the button gets the money. Ahh, that sucks. Unfortunately for Flato, though, that money wasn’t his.
