Books have been stated on this subject, and the bickering and disagreement about where the "hot" slot games are located in a casino are still intense – sixty yrs after slots were 1st placed in gambling houses.
The quintessential rule is that the most favorable slot machine games were put just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that individuals going by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be baited to come inside … play. Our leaning is that this is no longer the case.
Many of the large casinos today are gigantic complexes … you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ one armed bandits near to any doors.
An additional standard rule is that loose slot machine games are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Notably however, 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 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 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slot machine games.
