Books have been stated on this issue, and the contention and squabbling about where the "hot" slot machine games are installed in a casino are still intense – 60 yrs after slot machines were first installed in gambling houses.
The standard rule is that the superior one armed bandits were located just inside the main entry of the casino; so that potential gamblers passing by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be enthralled to come into the casino and play. Our presumption is that this is definitely no longer true.
Almost all of the big name casinos today are monstrous complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot games near to any exits.
An additional classic rule is that loose slot machine games are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more folks 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 the 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!
Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slots.
