Books have been stated on this item, and the debates and interchanges about where the "hot" slot games are positioned in the casino are still rampant – more than 60 years after slots were 1st placed in casinos.
The quintessential rule is that the most favorable one armed bandits were positioned just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that persons passing by would be able to see jackpot winners … be stimulated to come inside … play. Our perspective is that this is no longer the case.
The great majority of the mega casinos these days are titanic complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ one armed bandits near any entrances or exits.
Yet another standard rule is that loose slot machine games 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 not 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 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!
These days, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
