Volumes have been stated on this matter, and the bickering and discussion about where the "hot" slot machine games are placed in a casino are still taking place – over sixty yrs after slots were 1st installed in gambling houses.
The classic rule is that the superior slot games were put just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that individuals passing by would be able to see actual jackpot winners and be intrigued enough to come into the casino … play. Our slant is that this is no longer the case.
Nearly all of the large casinos nowadays are herculean complexes … it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slot games near to any of the doors.
Another standard rule is that loose slot machine games are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Nonetheless, 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 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!
These days, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot machines.
