Some banks appear to have alternating machines off. I was jokingly commenting on how Palace Station would have an easy time of that one, considering they have that enormous pile of machines in the parking lot, but it looks like other places may actually be taking a similar approach.

When people called them out on it, the response was boilerplate, with 'More than half of our 4,000 slots were either turned off or disabled in a locked status so that they could not be operated by guests.' included.
