Volumes have been said on this matter, and the contention and discourse about where the "hot" one armed bandits are positioned in a casino are still there – sixty years after slot games were first placed in gambling dens.
The quintessential rule is that the very best slots were located just inside the entry of the casino; so that individuals passing by would be able to see jackpot winners and be stimulated to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our reasoning is that this is no longer the case.
The majority of the big name casinos nowadays are magnificent complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slots near any exits.
Another classic rule is that loose slot games are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. However, we find that this also is not 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 slot machines 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slot machine games.
