Dear Bill: It sounds like Linda is on a hot streak. I hope it continues! Consider this: Even the tightest machine in the world will pay its jackpot once in a while. The person you see with the jackpot may actually be playing one of the tighter machines in the casino and the one next to it might be one of the looser ones. There's no way to know for sure, so we can disregard the math and logic and go by our emotions. If you prefer to find another area, go for it. If nothing else, you won't have to listen to the music or bells while the player waits for the handpay! I was in Atlantic City today and a guy sits down and plays a Joker Wild machine three down from the 9/6 Jacks machine I'm playing. On his second or third hand, he hits a straight flush for a $500 handpay. Of course, even though I'm playing a machine that is a full two percentage points better in long-term payback, I'm lucky to hit one full house. Best of luck in and out of the casinos!
