Of course it is. In the "old days" when machines actually dispensed coins, I would typically tip $10 on a $1000 hand pay. Now with TITO machines, there is absolutely no reason for the machine to lock up on a $1000 hit, other than as an artificial way to generate more tip income for the slot attendants, and possibly as a method to create more apparent "jackpots" for the tourists walking by to see. Perhaps if we all refuse to tip for these $1000 hand pays we can nip this goofy trend in the bud.
