Books have been stated on this item, and the bickering and discourse about where the "hot" slot machines are located in the casino are still bubbling – over 60 years after slot machine games were 1st placed in the casinos.
The quintessential rule is that the very best one armed bandits were located just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that casino fanatics walking by would see jackpot winners and be inspired to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our attitude is that this is definitely no longer true.
Almost all of the mega casinos presently are titanic complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot machines close-by any doors.
Yet another standard rule is that loose slots are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be motivated to play. Notably 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 slot machine games 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!
Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot games.
