There's no "lock up" -- generally speaking, machines lock up only on wins requiring a hand pay.

So, for example, with the advent of TITO, most $1K hits on $.25 machines no longer invoke a lock up. I remember an incident shortly after Resorts went TITO ... I was playing next to a woman playing $.25 who hit a royal. After the machine counted through the 4000 credit win, she was disappointed when the jackpot light and music failed to initiate.

I explained why not, and the expression on her face was suggestive of someone who had just had a birthday that no one remembered. She asked me to hold her machine and then hit the cash out button ... she was determined that some casino employee was going to acknowledge the win ;)
