Serves me right for playing short pay

#1

My friend who is in town from Florida makes it a point of visiting
every casino at least once. The only casino that has opened since
his last visit is Emerald Isle in downtown Henderson, so off we went
today. Just to be able to say that we played something, we sat at
a .01 multi-strike machine (all of their machines are .01). I
figured I would put $10 through 17/7 KBJW for fun. At first I was
betting 50 coins per hand but my stake dwindled and I eventually was
reduced to playing pennies which was .04 per hand to play all four
lines. Even that went sour and I ended up with three cents worth of
credit, not enough to play even one more hand. I really wanted to
leave the money in the machine, but I figured I would cash out and
keep the ticket as a souvenir. Imagine my surprise when I hit the
cash out button and the screen said ".03-hand pay required". I was
really too embarrased to wait, so I walked away from the machine,
but my friend waited and brought me my three cents. I suggested that
he should have tipped the change person a penny.

Does this qualify as the smallest hand pay ever?

I have found .01 and .02 cent tickets in trays on TITO machines left by the
previous player, but have never seen a .03 hand pay. Congratulations!

Doesn't that lock-up the machine while waiting for an attendant? Does the machine somehow reset after a little bit? It would be a bitch to find some machines unoccupied and yet unusable because of this.

It's probably 2c more than the record. Next time you are in Binion's (which has no TITO), notice that the Beverly Hillbillies are labelled that all cashouts are hand-pays.
