The only factor I look at when choosing a seat mate is
the "vibes" that they are giving off. For example:
some of the gamblers I have sat next to:
Are they punching the buttons hard and cursing the
machine?
Are they smoking?
Are they playing that annoying video Keno?
Is their oxygen bottle cramping my floor space?
Is she nursing a baby?
Do they need a bath?
Did they have beans for lunch?
Are two or three friends offering them helpful advice
on every play? In a foreign language that must be
spoken LOUD?
Are they constantly talking to a plastic Bluetooth bug
stuck on their ear?
Does she have a small dog in her purse?
Did they have a pizza delivered?
