You might want to consider changing machines if:
The person next to you is emitting noxious fumes (smoke, body odor, perfume,
cologne, or use your imagination).
Your machine insists on holding a 3 when you pressed the hold button for that
Ace.
Your machine's screen is blurry enough that 33366 is a "Full Mouse".
The person next to you has just poured gasoline on himself and is reaching
for his lighter.
The sound level on your machine has caused everyone near you to move away or
insert earplugs.
Your machine is slow. You have time to "root in" that fourth Ace (DB) or
Deuce (DW).
The bill acceptor on your machine is apparently waiting for that one special
serial number.
The person next to you is so attractive you can't concentrate on playing. VP
that is.
The person next to you WILL NOT SHUT UP!
Your machine says "Out of Service" on the screen.

But if you want to improve your chances of winning, play the best game
available within your bankroll, play correct strategy, and play as fast as you can
accurately. You can't play fast if you keep wasting time changing machines!
