Volumes have been written on this item, and the debates and ruckus about where the "hot" slot games are installed in a casino are still happening – 60 yrs after slot games were 1st placed in casinos.
The quintessential rule is that the better slot machine games were installed just inside the door of the casino; so that potential players going by would see actual jackpot winners … be infatuated enough to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our reasoning is that this is definitely no longer true.
The majority of the major casinos nowadays are massive complexes … you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ one armed bandits near to any exits.
Yet another standard rule is that loose slot machine games are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Importantly however, we find that this also is no longer a universal rule.
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 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 machine games.
