Books have been set forth on this item, and the bickering and feuds about where the "hot" slots are located in the casino are still taking place – 60 years after slot machine games were 1st placed in the casinos.
The quintessential rule is that the most favorable one armed bandits were positioned just inside the main door of the casino; so that individuals walking by would see actual jackpot winners and be impressed enough to come inside … play. Our determination is that this is not so anymore.
Almost all of the mega casinos nowadays are herculean complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ one armed bandits in close proximity to any of the doors.
An additional standard rule is that loose slot games are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Notably 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 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!
Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot games.
