Volumes have been stated on this subject, and the debates and squabbling about where the "hot" slot machine games are positioned in the casino are still on-going – 60 years after one armed bandits were first added to the gaming floor in casinos.
The standard rule is that the most favorable slot machine games were installed just inside the main door of the casino; so that potential players going by would see actual jackpot winners and be smitten to come inside … play. Our point of view is that this is definitely no longer so.
Nearly all of the major casinos presently are giant complexes … it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slots in close proximity to any entrances.
Another traditional rule is that loose slots are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Notably however, we find that this also is no longer a universal rule.
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 slot machines 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!
In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
