Volumes have been stated on this subject, and the contention and discourse about where the "hot" slots are installed in a casino are still taking place – over 60 years after the slot machines were 1st installed in gambling houses.
The traditional rule is that the best slots were placed just inside the main door of the casino; so that fun seekers passing by would be able to see jackpot winners … be stimulated to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our perspective is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Nearly all of the large casinos these days are herculean complexes … you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot machine games close-by any doorways.
Yet another standard rule is that loose slot games are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be galvanized 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 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 slot machine games.
