Those Thinking Machines Have Still Not Arrived

Dear Mark: If a machine has just paid out a jackpot, would you recommend moving to another machine being that the machine now has to recoup its losses? Dale M.

Dear Mark: About a month ago, I was playing the 5¢ slots and lost about $20. When I took my player's card out, I noticed the machine next to me (no one was playing while I was there) had a ticket sticking out. I took the ticket, without looking at the amount, and asked a man and women standing in line at the cashier's cage if they were on that machine. They said "no" and I told them about the ticket. H...
