When I hit a 25-cent royal at the Vegas airport a few months back, I left it on the machine when I went to the pay booth to get my money. I was not asked to play it off... but another floor person did put in a quarter to remove it.
Personally, when I get a big winner that does not require a hand pay, I like to leave the big winner showing. I've done this often with AAAA on Aces and Faces at the $1 or $2 level. The pay is $400 or $800 -- I've cashed out and I leave the aces showing.
