Volumes have been stated on this subject, and the disquiet and disagreement about where the "hot" video slots are positioned in the casino are still happening – more than 60 years after slot machines were 1st added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.
The classic rule is that the superior slot games were installed just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that individuals walking by would be able to see jackpot winners and be stirred to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our observation is that this is definitely no longer true.
Practically all of the major casinos today are jumbo complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slot machine games close to any doors.
Yet another classic rule is that loose slot machine games are placed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Notably though, 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 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!
Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
