Books have been set forth on this matter, and the debates and squabbling about where the "hot" video slots are placed in the casino are still intense – 60 years after slot machine games were 1st installed in the casinos.
The classic rule is that the very best slot machine games were located just inside the entry of the casino; so that persons passing by would be able to see jackpot winners … be baited to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our thought is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Nearly all of the big name casinos nowadays are oversized complexes and it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot machine games in close proximity to any of the doors.
Yet another classic rule is that loose slots are placed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. However, we find that this also isn’t 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 slot machine games 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 very 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!
Today, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
