Books have been stated on this item, and the debates and feuds about where the "hot" video slots are located in a casino are still on-going – more than sixty years after slot machine games were 1st placed in gambling dens.
The traditional rule is that the superior slot machines were positioned just inside the main door of the casino; so that people passing by would be able to see jackpot winners … be stimulated to come into the casino and play. Our stance is that this is no longer true.
The great majority of the big name casinos nowadays are mammoth complexes … you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slots near any entrances or exits.
An additional classic rule is that loose slot machines are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Notably though, 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 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slot machine games.
