Books have been said on this subject, and the contention and ruckus about where the "hot" slots are located in a casino are still passionate – more than sixty yrs after slots were 1st installed in casinos.
The classic rule is that the very best slot machine games were placed just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that individuals walking by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be titillated to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our opinion is that this is no longer true.
The majority of the major casinos nowadays are huge complexes … it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot games near to any exits.
An additional traditional rule is that loose slot machine games are put 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 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!
In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot machine games.
