As someone mentioned, cigarette smoke and loud conversation can often do the trick without actually FORCING someone off the machine. Getting a ploppie to move on to another machine because he no longer is comfortable at his current machine, will usually work better than overtly trying to force him to leave the machine.
I don't do this often, but, when I do, I find that smoke from a cheap cigar will usually do the trick within a couple of minutes.
Getting a pro or semi-pro to leave a play is a whole other story,as he's going to be more determined to stay. In those situations, I tend to either walk away, try to wait him out, and/or try to create a short term partnership with him.
I love the idea of hiring a hottie to whisper sweet nothings in the ear of the guy playing the machine.
