• Slot Machine Location

    [ English ]

    Volumes have been written on this subject, and the debates and squabbling about where the "hot" video slots are positioned in a casino are still raging – 60 yrs after the slot machines were first added to the gaming floor in casinos.

    The classic rule is that the very best slots were put just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that casino fanatics walking by would see actual jackpot winners and be stimulated to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our perspective is that this is definitely no longer the case.

    Nearly all of the big name casinos these days are mammoth complexes … it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot machine games near to any doors.

    Another standard rule is that loose slot games are placed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Notably though, 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 the slot machines 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!

    Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot machine games.
