Volumes have been stated on this issue, and the bickering and interchanges about where the "hot" slot machines are positioned in the casino are still happening – over 60 yrs after slot games were first installed in gambling houses.
The quintessential rule is that the better slot games were positioned just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that everyone going by would see actual jackpot winners … be impressed enough to come into the casino … play. Our resolve is that this is no longer true.
Almost all of the mega casinos presently are grand complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot machine games close-by any entrances.
Another traditional rule is that loose slot machine games are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. Importantly 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 the slot machines 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!
In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
