Books have been set forth on this subject, and the bickering and discord about where the "hot" slot games are located in the casino are still on-going – 60 years after the slot machines were 1st added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.
The traditional rule is that the most favorable slot machine games were installed just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that individuals going by would be able to see jackpot winners and be impressed enough to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our theorem is that this is definitely no longer so.
The majority of the major casinos today are super-colossal complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ one armed bandits in close proximity to any entrances.
Another classic rule is that loose slot machine games are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Importantly 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 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!
These days, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machines.
