Volumes have been stated on this issue, and the disquiet and interchanges about where the "hot" one armed bandits are placed in a casino are still happening – more than sixty years after slot games were 1st added to the gaming floor in casinos.
The quintessential rule is that the best slots were put just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that potential gamblers going by would see actual jackpot winners and be stimulated to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our viewpoint is that this is no longer the case.
Just about all of the mega casinos nowadays are grand complexes … it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot machine games near to any entrances.
An additional classic rule is that loose slot machine games are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. However, 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 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!
Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slots.
