Books have been stated on this matter, and the disquiet and discussion about where the "hot" slot games are installed in the casino are still bubbling – over sixty years after slot machines were 1st placed in gambling houses.
The standard rule is that the more favourable slots were placed just inside the door of the casino; so that individuals going by would see actual jackpot winners and be drawn to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our standpoint is that this is definitely no longer so.
Most of the mega casinos nowadays are jumbo complexes and you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot machine games near to any exits.
An additional classic rule is that loose slot games are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Importantly though, 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!
These days, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
