Books have been stated on this issue, and the contention and feuds about where the "hot" slot machine games are placed in the casino are still intense – sixty years after slot machine games were first placed in the casinos.
The standard rule is that the more favourable slot machine games were located just inside the main door of the casino; so that everyone walking by would see real jackpot winners … be convinced to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our theorem is that this is definitely no longer true.
Most of the major casinos presently are herculean complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot games near any doors.
Another traditional rule is that loose slots are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be influenced to play. Nonetheless, 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 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!
Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot machine games.
