Volumes have been stated on this matter, and the conflict and disagreement about where the "hot" video slots are placed in a casino are still ongoing – over 60 years after slot machine games were first placed in the casinos.
The traditional rule is that the superior slot games were located just inside the main door of the casino; so that fun seekers walking by would be able to see jackpot winners … be influenced to come inside … play. Our speculation is that this is definitely no longer true.
The majority of the major casinos presently are oversized complexes … it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot machine games near to any entrances.
An additional standard rule is that loose slot games are put on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be influenced to play. Nonetheless, 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 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 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 perspective about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
