Volumes have been stated on this topic, and the controversy and disagreement about where the "hot" slots are positioned in the casino are still ongoing – sixty years after slots were first added to the gaming floor in the casinos.
The traditional rule is that the more favourable one armed bandits were placed just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that persons going by would see jackpot winners and be captivated to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our leaning is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Most of the major casinos presently are enormous complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot machine games near any entrances.
Another standard rule is that loose slot machine games are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Interestingly though, 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 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!
In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machines.
