The banger returned on Sun! I now peg him as a regular for this day and time. Note to self: remain at my prior casino.

What Casino were you at. I had the honor of sitting next to one on Friday night. He lost and drifted away.

The bangers have not figured out, that the more they bang, the more they lose Just listen to them get louder in a losing streak! To bad, maybe they will go back home sooner!

Too bad, maybe they will go back home sooner!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------No such luck, he drove me out of town. Having committed to return to the casino nearest my exit route, I had no choice but to hit the road! I won't be making that mistake again. I hated  the last time when he hit a quad, affording him about fifty more carefree bangs.

I am a banger and proud of it!    Seriously, just what exactly are we talking about here?    I know some people are simply just super fast (like me) and whereas it can seem like were are smashing the buttons as we play, in fact it is the speed and kinetic energy generating the exagerated sound of buttons being pounded, but there are also MANY MANY other factors/In AC, many of the machines are in such lOUSY, poor condition, they require harder than normal force to respond (unless you want to touch the filthy smudgy touch screens and play that way, but again due to the poor condition and aging machines, many of the screen-touch mechanisms are either broken or they are totally out of whack, whereby you may intend to touch the screen to hit "deal/draw" but the screen constantly kicks you out back into the main menu (or some similar malfunction with many of the other screen touch buttons).If you have a brand new machine with new soft buttons, they do not make NEARLY as much noise EVEN if you do intentionally bang on them!!   Generally, if I am playing SLOW,or intentionally slower than usual, than the amount of noise I generate with my button pushing is GREATLY diminished......But all things considered, if and when I am in the mood to play FAT (which is often), my sheer style and the speed and momentum I build up cause me to appear to be a button banger/smasher.All I can say is..........S O R R Y !!!

That's cool, DB. You actually led me to the ideal AC casino anyway, so I can let the banger pound away to his heart's content amid the muck and mire and flotsam and jetsam on the boardwalk, better known as Bally's. Their full pays are not even out of whack, but remarkably functional. Trust me, the problem isn't the machines, it's him. He just likes to bang. It seems you do as well. Your style is easily in the minority. But keep on shredding everyone's nerves. I have since found a slower, more methodical crowd more my speed. We are spoiled with a cornucopia of options. Peace out.

Unfortunately, I had a visit from the queen of "button bangers" at the Hard Rock Tuesday morning.   She was playing the machine to the back of my machine and I could feel the quake of her hits in my machine each and every time.  I moved to the end of the row and I'll be damned if she didn't move there too!  She never got anything and finally left.  I'm sure she had an appointment with her hand doctor.

Funny post, Phil! It was as if she was vengefully shadowing you! Thou shalt not min bet, repent! Being on Banger's Bank is serious misery, which loves company. I'm calling my guy the Bad Penny Banger. He's always around on Sunday. I'd like to squeeze in a little more play at the tail end of my visit, but I get my usage in elsewhere so I am no longer wedded to the venue. I found new base of operations just in the nick of time for my sanity.

Ya like sticky buttons on the bar tops. The other day I am hammering this one hold button as you had to hit it 3 times to get it to hold. The guy next to me said "your making my machine vibrate" I said "Don't start your whining I'm not in the mood" LMAO I gave up on the machine and moved on soon after!
