This was before the TITO and it was dumping the 1000 quarters which takes a bit. As the machine was clicking away the coins the guy that had been sitting there came back and started telling me that was his machine and he had only gone to the bathroom and that he wanted it back. I said, sorry, its mine now. He got all huffy and loud and called a slot attendant over and explained that I had taken his place at the machine while he went to the restroom and she just said, sorry, there is no saving machines. He stomped away cussing and the slot attendant smiled and said, give me a shout if he returns and starts causing trouble...luckily he didn't but you never know...
What makes people think they own a given machine?
Quite a few yrs. ago, we were playing bartop VP @ the Orleans. I was sitting on the right of my hubby, machines on his left were being played. Well, this group got up and left, since I wasn't doing well on the machine I was playing, I moved to the VP machine on his left. Put in $60 and low and behold, a RF. While I was waiting for my cash, the guy that was playing the machine cruises past..saw I hit the RF and starts in on me that was his RF. Yeah, right pal. He called the bartender over and was bitchin to him, he played all morning on the machine, bartender tells him...sorrry buddy, you walked away. The bartender called security and they asked him to leave. Got my money, hubby cashed out and we got the hell out. Security walked us out to our car, just in case this ahole was still around.
