What the hell kinda laws does FL have??

I'd say that's pretty normal. By letting her play the machine, he basically gave her his money to put place the bet. She placed the bet....and she won. No matter what, there is legal ramifications. Even if she gives him the money, she's going to be on the hook for the taxes. They have to define who the winner is, and the winner is the person who plays the game. Doesn't matter where the money for the bet came from...unless it's stolen, which it was not in this case.

Doesn't mean she isn't a terrible person for what she did. Just legally, she isn't wrong to do so.
