Books have been stated on this subject, and the conflict and feuds about where the "hot" slot machine games are placed in the casino are still taking place – over sixty yrs after slot machine games were 1st added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.
The quintessential rule is that the superior slot games were put just inside the door of the casino; so that casino fanatics going by would be able to see jackpot winners … be impressed enough to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our resolve is that this is no longer true.
The great majority of the large casinos nowadays are magnificent complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot games close-by any doorways.
Another traditional rule is that loose slot games are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Notably 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 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 philosophy about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
