Books have been stated on this item, and the conflict and discourse about where the "hot" slot machine games are placed in the casino are still taking place – over sixty yrs after the slot machines were first added to the gaming floor in the casinos.
The standard rule is that the more favourable slots were put just inside the entry of the casino; so that persons going by would see real jackpot winners … be drawn to come inside and play. Our reasoning is that this is no longer the case.
Many of the large casinos presently are super-colossal complexes and it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slot games in close proximity to any of the doors.
Another traditional rule is that loose one armed bandits are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be encouraged 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 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 perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
