Books have been set forth on this matter, and the contention and disharmony about where the "hot" slot games are positioned in a casino are still passionate – 60 yrs after slot machines were 1st added to the gaming floor in the casinos.
The traditional rule is that the more favourable slots were positioned just inside the door of the casino; so that potential players passing by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be smitten to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our philosophy is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Almost all of the mega casinos these days are mammoth complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot machine games near any entrances.
Another classic rule is that loose slot machines are placed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. Importantly 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 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 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 machines.
