Books have been stated on this subject, and the disquiet and discord about where the "hot" slot machine games are installed in the casino are still on-going – sixty yrs after slot machine games were 1st installed in the casinos.
The traditional rule is that the best one armed bandits were positioned just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that persons going by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be infatuated enough to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our reasoning is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Practically all of the major casinos today are herculean complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slots close to any doorways.
Yet another classic rule is that loose slot games are placed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be motivated to play. Nonetheless, 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 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!
Today, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot games.
