Too small for a slot/VP ticket cashing machine?

Something I left out of my trip report from last August, that I dug up while getting ready for my upcoming trip:
When I was at MAX (the name of the casino inside the Westin), I made a few dollars on VP, but when I got my ticket, I couldn't find a machine to cash it. I went to the cage to cash it, and asked why there were no machines; the cashier said that the casino was "too small" to have one.
Is there some size requirement for a casino to have a player-accessible machine to cash tickets, or is it just a management decision (i.e. management decided that there wasn't enough play to make the cost of such a machine worthwhile)?

Just a management decision. Those machines cost a lot plus you need people to service and fill them.
Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed.

Usually are installed for convenience and there is a cost to keep them and also man hour wise to keep them stocked- if the casino is small then there is no need for the cost when the cashiers is a couple feet away
No longer hiring, don’t ask because I won’t hire you either

Another big example, McCarran cashes out by hand too.

My memory is getting bad, but something tells me Hacienda was like that too. I may be wrong.

There's obviously not a regulation because 99% of bar's and places like Devil Dotty'so don't have a TITO cashing machine. AND YES some/many bar's and small devil Dotty's type places have TITO's.

Emerald Island has no redemption machines. Possibly the Pioneer in Laughlin, as well.
The older I get, the better I recall things that never happened
