Books have been said on this topic, and the contention and feuds about where the "hot" slot machine games are located in a casino are still rampant – more than sixty years after the slot machines were 1st installed in gambling dens.
The traditional rule is that the best slot games were positioned just inside the main entry of the casino; so that persons going by would be able to see actual jackpot winners … be drawn to come into the casino and play. Our resolution is that this is no longer true.
Practically all of the big name casinos presently are humongous complexes … it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slot machine games close to any doors.
An additional traditional rule is that loose slot machine games are placed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be motivated to play. 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 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 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 one armed bandits.
