Man denied $100K jackpot because friend pushed the button

[soulcougher73]

this brings up an interesting 'gambling' strategy. just wait for people to put money then then run up behind them and push the button

Off to the casinos. Thanks for the idea. Ill be rich by the weekend.

Surprised she was even willing to be interviewed after doing that.

I was too even if she didn't let them show her face. She even had the nerve to say "I've never won anything like this" lol.

You put a coin in your machine and do a sudden bathroom break that lets some one else can sit in and play on your dime, they win.

On a side note, has this rule ever been challenged in court? It violates just about every concept of fairness ever imagined. What happened to the bet placed? Sure it isn't his jackpot, but do they credit him back the wager? It was obviously his money at stake?

I can see that the casino has that rule because you can verify it via video surveillance, but I don't see how it holds up in court.
