Well, Char, there's a rhythm to it (for me, anyway.) If I haven't had more hits than misses in about 30 seconds' play, I switch machines. Some nights you're just firing on all cylinders, so to speak. Did that last year at Turning Stone where I turned my $50 stake to $150 in about 2 minutes, and cashed out when I dropped to $135. It's too tempting to keep playing, thinking you're going to hit "the big one" with the next push of a button or pull of a lever - that's how they get you. You know, "that was close" or "just missed" a flush or whatever, when in reality you were nowhere near it. I'll pocket my winnings and maybe try another machine with the stake, which may or may not win. If not, I'm still ahead.
