Volumes have been said on this subject, and the debates and interchanges about where the "hot" video slots are positioned in the casino are still raging – over 60 years after slot machines were first placed in gambling houses.
The traditional rule is that the most favorable slot machine games were installed just inside the entrance of the casino; so that individuals going by would see actual jackpot winners … be attracted to come inside and play. Our interpretation is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Most of the mega casinos presently are huge complexes and it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot machine games close-by any entrances.
An additional standard rule is that loose slot games are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Nonetheless, 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 one armed bandits 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!
Today, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
