Volumes have been stated on this issue, and the debates and face-offs about where the "hot" slot machines are placed in a casino are still rampant – over sixty yrs after one armed bandits were 1st placed in gambling dens.
The quintessential rule is that the superior slot games were located just inside the door of the casino; so that casino fanatics going by would be able to see actual jackpot winners … be challenged to come inside … play. Our resolution is that this is no longer the case.
Practically all of the big name casinos nowadays are grand complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot machines close to any exits.
Yet another classic rule is that loose slots are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be energized 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 the 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 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.
