Books have been set forth on this matter, and the contention and interchanges about where the "hot" slot games are positioned in a casino are still there – more than sixty years after the slots were 1st placed in the casinos.
The traditional rule is that the superior slot machines were installed just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that everyone going by would be able to see jackpot winners and be impressed enough to come into the casino and play. Our speculation is that this is definitely no longer true.
The majority of the large casinos these days are huge complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slots close to any exits.
An additional traditional rule is that loose one armed bandits are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Notably 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 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!
Today, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
