Slot Machine Location

Volumes have been stated on this issue, and the conflict and discourse about where the "hot" slot machine games are positioned in a casino are still raging – sixty years after slot games were 1st installed in gambling dens.

The standard rule is that the very best slot machines were installed just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that individuals going by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be stimulated to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our speculation is that this is no longer true.

Most of the large casinos nowadays are immense complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot machine games near to any entrances or exits.

Yet another classic rule is that loose slot machine games are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Importantly 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 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!

In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot games.
