Volumes have been set forth on this issue, and the bickering and interchanges about where the "hot" slot games are positioned in the casino are still passionate – over sixty yrs after slots were first placed in gambling houses.
The traditional rule is that the most favorable slot games were installed just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that persons walking by would be able to see jackpot winners … be enthralled to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our conclusion is that this is definitely no longer true.
The majority of the big name casinos nowadays are monstrous complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ one armed bandits in close proximity to any doors.
Another traditional rule is that loose slot machine games are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. Importantly though, 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 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 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 games.
