Always pressing Max Bet drive you nuts?

Post by ChappyIL »

Maybe it's me, but does anyone else get really annoyed when the person next to you presses Max Bet on EVERY hand they play? For some reason, the games are programmed to play the bell that sounds 5x on max bet louder than anything else on the game. I am not sure if some people don't understand they can just hit the Deal button, or have some superstition, or just like hearing "DING DING DING DING DING" every few seconds ...

I usually try to move to a new machine, but some casinos seem to have a lot of these people playing unfortunately.

"DING DING DING DING DING"
Did someone call me? :geek:

My guess is many players are mentally in outer space and aren't aware of their environment. In their defense, some places are really loud in general, and the machine noises just blend in with everything else.

Almost as annoying as when they let the quad credits ring up. Do they think we're gonna be impressed? The only sounds I care to hear are " Heineken?" and that lovely handpay theme song....
And just having someone next to me at all is annoying in itself.

Aren't there bigger things in life around to bother us?

Just asking. I heard a long time ago :Don't sweat the small stuff."

Well, yes, I do find that practice very annoying. But, every time I start thinking that I'm going to say something to them, I remind myself that they are entitled to play the way they want.

For that matter, a lot of people like to have no sound at all on their machine, while I definitely like to have some.

Perhaps the person is lefthanded and prefers to hit the button on that side of the machine to begin a hand.

Doesn't bother me for some reason.
