Books have been set forth on this subject, and the bickering and discord about where the "hot" slots are located in a casino are still raging – more than 60 yrs after slot games were first placed in casinos.
The standard rule is that the more favourable one armed bandits were located just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that casino fanatics passing by would see jackpot winners … be attracted to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our thought is that this is no longer true.
Just about all of the big name casinos today are immense complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot games near any of the doors.
Yet another classic rule is that loose slot games are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Interestingly 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 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 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!
Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
