Books have been set forth on this subject, and the bickering and face-offs about where the "hot" slots are installed in the casino are still intense – more than sixty yrs after slot machine games were first placed in the casinos.
The classic rule is that the better slot machine games were put just inside the entry of the casino; so that potential players going by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be attracted to come inside … play. Our conviction is that this is definitely no longer so.
Nearly all of the large casinos these days are super-colossal complexes and you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slot machine games close-by any doors.
Another standard rule is that loose slot machine games are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Notably though, 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 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slots.
