Volumes have been stated on this topic, and the debates and discord about where the "hot" slot machine games are installed in a casino are still bubbling – 60 years after slot games were 1st placed in gambling houses.
The classic rule is that the best slot games were positioned just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that everyone going by would be able to see jackpot winners and be enthralled to come inside and play. Our feeling is that this is definitely no longer true.
Just about all of the mega casinos nowadays are magnificent complexes … it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot machine games near to any doors.
Another standard rule is that loose slots are put on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Importantly however, 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 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 perspective about where to place the loose slots.
