Some days the ATM pays out. Some days it just displays an error message and asks you to try again later.
Poker players love to say they are "due."
Due for a hand.
Due for a run.
Due for a double-up.
Due for the dealer to stop personally attacking them.
But poker has a cruel sense of humor.
Sometimes you arrive confident, caffeinated, and emotionally prepared to become the main character.
Then three hours later you are walking through the casino wondering if a sandwich counts as bankroll management.
That is when the ATM is temporarily out of service.
No cash available.
No PIN accepted.
Please contact customer support.
Unfortunately, customer support is also on break.
The good news: ATMs eventually restock.
The bad news: The fee to try again is another buy-in.
