Volumes have been said on this matter, and the debates and ruckus about where the "hot" video slots are positioned in the casino are still on-going – over sixty yrs after slot machine games were 1st added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.
The traditional rule is that the most favorable slot machine games were positioned just inside the main door of the casino; so that people walking by would be able to see jackpot winners and be drawn to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our frame of mind is that this is not so anymore.
Practically all of the major casinos nowadays are oversized complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot games near to any doors.
Yet another traditional rule is that loose slots are placed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be motivated to play. Nonetheless, we find that this also is not 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 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!
These days, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot machine games.
