If the previous player shows a big cash out amount they play another machine. That and the idiocy of changing machines in the same bank because, after a minimal amount of play, they decide the machine is "cold." Then there are the folks who keep cashing out and putting the ticket back in. What does that do besides make the machine run out of paper?
Well one thing it does is to give people a sense of illusory control. It may change nothing, but when they win, which they will every now and then, it gives them something THEY DID on which to place the credit.
