Books have been set forth on this item, and the conflict and ruckus about where the "hot" slot games are positioned in the casino are still bubbling – over sixty yrs after slot machine games were 1st placed in gambling dens.
The quintessential rule is that the very best slot machines were located just inside the main door of the casino; so that people passing by would be able to see actual jackpot winners … be intrigued enough to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our standpoint is that this is not so anymore.
The great majority of the mega casinos nowadays are giant complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ one armed bandits near to any doors.
Yet another classic rule is that loose slot machines are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be influenced to play. 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 machine 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slot machine games.
