Books have been stated on this matter, and the conflict and disharmony about where the "hot" slot machines are positioned in the casino are still rampant – more than 60 yrs after slot games were 1st installed in gambling houses.
The quintessential rule is that the superior slot machine games were placed just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that potential gamblers walking by would be able to see real jackpot winners … be intrigued enough to come into the casino and play. Our resolve is that this is not so anymore.
Practically all of the major casinos these days are magnificent complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slots close-by any entrances or exits.
Yet another standard rule is that loose slot machines are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be influenced to play. Notably 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 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slot machine games.
