Volumes have been said on this topic, and the controversy and discourse about where the "hot" slots are positioned in the casino are still on-going – over sixty yrs after slot machine games were 1st installed in the casinos.
The standard rule is that the superior slot games were put just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that individuals passing by would be able to see actual jackpot winners and be keen enough to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our estimation is that this is no longer true.
Many of the major casinos presently are monstrous complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ one armed bandits near to any exits.
An additional traditional rule is that loose one armed bandits are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be influenced 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 the slots 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!
These days, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
