"Play it Off"

There is no regulation--public or confidential--that requires anyone play off a hand paid jackpot hand. You can refuse politely or rudely and no one will sanction you but someone nearby who is easily intimidated.

If I don't want to play that machine anymore I just tell the slot attendent

no. Once the slot attendent tried to insist I play it off, I told them no,

you can't make me make another bet. Then he just took his key and reset the

screen. no problem. I remember many years ago in Vegas Stardust and a few

others would put the coins in the machine out of the hopper and then ask you

to play it off on their money. Those were the days.

Why do some, but not all, slot attendants request that you "play it

off"-meaning your winning hand on the screen, after you have received a hand

pay?

Have any of you refused to do so? Any repercussions?

Sometimes, after I have hit a progressive, it is not worthwhile to put any

more $ through the machine. Or I want to cash out because I need a restroom

break or am tired and want to go home. It is not because "the machine is now

cold" - although many slot attendants are crazy superstitious and, I

suspect, would accept that as an explanation.

I am thinking that this isn't any sort of gaming regulation, or even

consistent policy within a company, as I sometimes have had different

experiences at the same casino. Certainly, this can't be to prove that the

machine is malfunctioning- I'd already been paid.

BTW, I'm grateful to need to ask about this "problem"!
