Books have been stated on this item, and the debates and face-offs about where the "hot" slots are installed in the casino are still taking place – over 60 yrs after the slots were first placed in gambling dens.
The standard rule is that the most favorable slot machine games were located just inside the entry of the casino; so that potential gamblers going by would be able to see jackpot winners … be mesmerized enough to come inside and play. Our reasoning is that this is no longer the case.
The majority of the major casinos these days are giant complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot games close to any entrances or exits.
An additional classic rule is that loose slot machines are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. However, 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 slots 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!
In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
