Volumes have been set forth on this item, and the contention and feuds about where the "hot" slot games are placed in a casino are still there – over sixty years after slot machines were 1st placed in casinos.
The traditional rule is that the very best slot machine games were located just inside the entry of the casino; so that folks walking by would be able to see actual jackpot winners … be infatuated enough to come into the casino and play. Our sneaking suspicion is that this is not so anymore.
The majority of the mega casinos today are behemothic complexes and you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot machine games near any of the doors.
Yet another classic rule is that loose slot games are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Importantly though, we find that this also is not a universal rule any more.
What casinos found over the years is that people walking down the busy aisles were frequently on the way to somewhere else. If they played one armed bandits at all, they would simply put in their loose change because they happened to be walking by. Win or lose, they would very often not stop to keep playing. And the last thing a casino wants is for someone to win a jackpot by playing only a few coins and then not stay to put it all back in!
Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slots.
