Volumes have been set forth on this issue, and the contention and squabbling about where the "hot" video slots are placed in the casino are still ongoing – more than sixty years after the slot machines were 1st placed in gambling houses.
The classic rule is that the more favourable one armed bandits were put just inside the main entry of the casino; so that folks going by would see actual jackpot winners … be challenged to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our resolution is that this is not so anymore.
Practically all of the big name casinos today are giant complexes … you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slots in close proximity to any doors.
Another standard rule is that loose slot games are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Interestingly though, 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 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 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!
Today, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot games.
