I agree with Babe (and Harry) -
Since each hand on any and every machine is independent, it makes no difference whether your next had is played on the machine you've been feeding for 2 hrs, or another across the aisle. Therefore, one can feel totally free to stay - or to change machines at whim - whether to avoid a smoker who sat next to you, get out of a chilly breeze, get a better look at the mountains, or to watch another machine eat your bills. Who cares if some might cluck their tongues and mutter "stupid superstition" - it is not stupid and it doesn't matter whether it's for superstitious reasons. The next hands will each be independent of all others.

better, or more confident about continuing to play, I will not stop
machine-hopping just as James does. My theory is that it can't hurt
either. {(O:
