Volumes have been set forth on this matter, and the conflict and interchanges about where the "hot" slots are installed in the casino are still ongoing – more than 60 yrs after slot machine games were 1st installed in the casinos.
The standard rule is that the most favorable slots were put just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that casino fanatics walking by would be able to see jackpot winners … be attracted to come inside and play. Our theory is that this is no longer true.
The great majority of the mega casinos these days are gigantic complexes … it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ one armed bandits close-by any of the doors.
Another standard rule is that loose slot machines are put on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Nonetheless, 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 slot machines 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!
In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
