People who play slot machines in gambling casinos usually exhibit steady, rapid rates of responding because slot machines operate on a variable ratio schedule of reinforcement.
A variable ratio schedule of reinforcement is one where a reinforcer (in this case, a win or payout) is delivered after an unpredictable number of responses (pulling the lever or pressing the spin button).
