From what I understand, if you take your money to the counter they have a system of putting credit on these machines remotely, so it would only take the cashier the time to count the money before the machine was credited, then the idiot punter could walk over to the machine make the wrong bet and then walk out of the place, perhaps, without complaining because nobody forced him to do it.
