Volumes have been stated on this item, and the debates and interchanges about where the "hot" slot machines are installed in a casino are still taking place – more than sixty years after slot games were 1st placed in gambling dens.
The traditional rule is that the very best one armed bandits were located just inside the door of the casino; so that persons passing by would be able to see jackpot winners … be tempted to come into the casino … play. Our inference is that this is definitely no longer true.
Just about all of the big name casinos nowadays are immense complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot machine games close-by any doorways.
Another standard rule is that loose slot machine games are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be encouraged 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 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 machines.
