I live in an area where there are plenty of machine players but no one has any concept of how a video poker or video keno game works. Here's one of the misconceptions I observe: If you see someone dump a bunch of money in a machine without hitting anything, then that's the machine you want to play because it's due to hit. The only thing I can attribute to this way of thinking is just pure ignorance.
And the other morning I was in a casino checking meters. The slot attendent, a twentysomething kid, asked if he could help me find a game. I said I was checking the meters and said "why should I play for a low meter when I can play for a high one?" His response was "I've found the game plays better when the meter is low." I hadn't had my morning coffee yet and wasn't suffering the fool very well. Not finding a play I walked out the door muttering to myself about dumasses and idiots.
