TIL: When playing fruit machines, legally it’s the person who presses the button that gets the winnings rather than the person that puts the money in, at least in the US.

So I guess be careful who you let have the fun of spinning the reels no matter how deep in you are to a gambling session. Otherwise you risk the fate of Jan Flato:

Jan Flato put $50 into a video poker machine at Florida’s Seminole Hard Rock Casino, and had his lady friend push the button for good luck.

…

Flato’s money and Marina Navarro’s hand won $100,000, but Flato didn’t get a dime.

They are no longer friends.
