Volumes have been set forth on this item, and the contention and squabbling about where the "hot" slot games are placed in the casino are still intense – sixty years after slots were first added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.
The standard rule is that the superior one armed bandits were put just inside the entrance of the casino; so that potential players walking by would be able to see real jackpot winners … be smitten to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our sneaking suspicion is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Almost all of the major casinos presently are colossal complexes … you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slots close to any exits.
Another classic rule is that loose one armed bandits are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be influenced 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 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!
These days, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machines.
