Volumes have been said on this topic, and the disquiet and feuds about where the "hot" video slots are placed in a casino are still happening – more than sixty years after slot machines were 1st installed in gambling houses.
The traditional rule is that the best slots were located just inside the main door of the casino; so that individuals passing by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be attracted to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our resolution is that this is definitely no longer so.
Just about all of the mega casinos today are oversized complexes and you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot machines close to any of the doors.
Yet another standard rule is that loose slot games are put 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 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 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 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!
These days, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
