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.”įlato said he is still furious about what happened. “I said, ‘Marina, what are you doing?’ and she gets up and walks out,” Flato said. That night, she even asked armed security to keep an eye on Flato as she walked out. Not only did Flato lose the cash he put into the machine, but he has barely heard from Navarro since she walked out that night with 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.” Once managers of the casino analyzed the video, it showed that Navarro pushed the button, which made her the rightful winner of the jackpot.
