Isn't the norm for a handpay that you get your money and then you play
off the hand?
I was in a casino that refused to pay me until I played off the hand
which I did not feel was correct and perhaps left me vulnerable.
Pros or cons of this? Or is there no difference?
Leaving the machine immediately after a hand-pay without playing
another hand may result in leaving credits on the machine. I speak
from experience, and I'm sure I'm not alone. In my case, the credits
were still there when I returned a few minutes later, but I learned a
valuable lesson from the near-miss.

All of the casinos that I can think of in Las Vegas pays the player
and then asks that you play off the hand. Actually, you are not
obligated to do this and you can cash out your remaining credits and
walk away.
The Casablanca in Mesquite asks that you play off the hand before you
get paid. When I was first asked to do this, I was very uncomfortable,
but in all the years I have played at the Casablanca, there was never
an issue.
Now that I don't play at the Casablanca any more, since they gutted
all the paytables and halved the comps (twice as much coin-in to earn
one point on their slot card...the hand pay procedure is a total non-
issue!
Which casino are you referring to?

When you are given a hand paid jackpot, they always "request" that
you"play off" the winner. I always do this if asked politely, to
save the slot person the trouble of playing off the winner, or
opening the machine to clear the hand. However, the very few times
that I was "ordered" to do this, I flat out refused.
The casino has no legal right to refuse to pay a jackpot because the
player declined to play another hand. Had this happened to me, I
would have immediately used my cell phone to call the Casino Gaming
Commission.

Hi Babe--
I hit a royal on an old 8/5 BP coin dropper at the Luxor several years
ago. The slot tech paid me, grabbed 5 quarters out of the machine
hopper, closed it up, put them in the coin slot, and left me with the
dealt hand (two jacks, as I recall). I've always wondered if they'd
let me keep the jackpot in the unlikely event I'd hit another hand pay.

This was standard procedure at Stations...after a hand pay, take 5
coins out of the hopper and feed them into the machine...until
about...I'm guessing...5-7 years ago. If I remember correctly...and
thats a BIG if... Bob Dancer relates a story about this on a $100
machine in his book Million Dollar Video Poker.
