Books have been stated on this item, and the bickering and discord about where the "hot" slot games are positioned in a casino are still raging – more than 60 yrs after the slot machines were 1st placed in casinos.
The quintessential rule is that the most favorable slot machine games were put just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that people going by would see real jackpot winners … be mesmerized enough to come into the casino … play. Our reckoning is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Most of the major casinos these days are super-colossal complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot machine games in close proximity to any doors.
Yet another standard rule is that loose slots are put on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. Importantly however, 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!
In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
