Books have been written on this topic, and the debates and arguments about where the "hot" slot games are positioned in the casino are still rampant – more than sixty yrs after slots were first installed in gambling dens.
The classic rule is that the superior slot games were placed just inside the main entry of the casino; so that folks going by would be able to see actual jackpot winners and be convinced to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our disposition is that this is definitely no longer true.
The majority of the large casinos presently are jumbo complexes … you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slot games near any doorways.
An additional classic rule is that loose slot machine games are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be motivated 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 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 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!
Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machines.
