I answered that in the second to last sentence. It makes me feel better. If its the same pay scale no harm/no foul. Im not sure why its so hard for people to understand. I gamble for enjoyment not to make a living or earn comps. If I hit well or earn a nice $100 dinner than so be it. I do play quite a lot so I would rather enjoy myself than be bored or flustered. I'm the type of person that doesn't like to sit in one spot too long. The only exception is a high progressive or there just isn't any other machines available. Id rather go home than sit at a machine that isn't hitting anything for several hours. There are days when I can hit 15-20 quads and some days its a struggle to get a few. I understand the long term and math and I play using correct strategy so at the end of the year I pretty much break even which covers my gambling habit. By the way I have been over royaled(I only play single line) for the last 6 years and my outcome is pretty close to the expected percentages. I would worry more about the people that play very shorted games as I will only play full pay VP. If that not available I head over to the Pai Gow table.

If Im playing a non progressive and the next machine, or a machine on another bank, has the same full pay game I move because I just cant sit at the same machine for long periods of time. If it doesn't matter mathematically to change it shouldn't matter if I move to create a break or see some new scenery. Sometimes a good stretch is good enough but my back and ass thank me for moving around the casino. Cold and hot machines are part of the psychology of playing vp. I see no problem with making myself feel better about moving to a machine with the same game because I cant hit a quad after 1000+ hands. Full pay machines are full pay machines, its one long session.
