When CET was changing their playable VP machines from $10/point to $20/point, they missed (for awhile anyway) three $2 machines in the high limit room in Caesars AC. These machines were usually difficult to get on, especially when they had point multiplier promotions. I was playing for a long time and wanted to get dinner, but I didn't want to give up the machine. I've seen people have machines taken out of service for several hours to hold them while they were away, and I thought that was just really obnoxious, especially if it's one of only a few good machines. I asked if it was possible to reserve the machine for awhile while I get dinner, but instead of tying up the machine, I didn't have a problem letting someone else play until I returned. But the slot attendant said that they don't do that. Seems pretty dumb to me. Luckily, I was able to make a deal with someone who only wanted to play an hour or two, and this way he was able to play on the machine and I was able to go eat and get the machine back after dinner. What I worked out privately would be a much better policy for the casino to enforce, and it would be better to have the casino involved in case there is a dispute when the player returns and isn't given the machine back. I suspect that the current policy is in place because some people are stupid and think that someone else playing on their machine is going to take away their upcoming jackpot or ruin their good luck.
