Volumes have been set forth on this matter, and the conflict and squabbling about where the "hot" slot games are placed in a casino are still happening – over sixty yrs after the slot machines were 1st placed in the casinos.
The traditional rule is that the more favourable slot machine games were located just inside the entrance of the casino; so that fun seekers going by would be able to see jackpot winners and be stirred to come into the casino and play. Our presumption is that this is no longer the case.
Almost all of the large casinos presently are monstrous complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot machines near to any doors.
An additional classic rule is that loose slot games are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. However, 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 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 very 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 games.
