Most of us that play this progressive know each other and when the machines are good but you can't get on - get to know some of the players that are regulars. We are a friendly group and we will definitely call your cell phone or come to where you are to get you to give you a machine when one is available. I have done it lots of times myself. Now we have a stalker who will stand behind you and try to intimate you to leave the machine. if you shut the machine down to go eat..he will watch the clock and immediately get an attendant to check the machine when he thinks its been an hour. he is too arrogant to realize that black card players normally get an hour and a half. He does everything he can to get a machine and then when he does he often puts $5 on it and sit for 2 or more hour not playing. The casino doesn't like to upset people so they let him get away with it. We have been told that if this guy tries to intimate people any more we are suppose to report him. So if you play be careful and report this guy if he is doing it to you. His name is John but often he uses a few cards with the name Edward or Marion on it as well.
