Books have been set forth on this subject, and the conflict and disharmony about where the "hot" slots are installed in the casino are still intense – more than 60 years after the slots were 1st placed in gambling dens.
The quintessential rule is that the very best slot machine games were positioned just inside the door of the casino; so that fun seekers passing by would be able to see jackpot winners and be captivated to come inside … play. Our presumption is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Most of the major casinos today are jumbo complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ one armed bandits in close proximity to any of the doors.
An additional classic rule is that loose slot machine games are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Interestingly though, 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 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 perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
