Slot Machine Location

Volumes have been set forth on this matter, and the contention and feuds about where the "hot" slots are placed in the casino are still taking place – more than 60 yrs after slot machines were first installed in casinos.
The standard rule is that the more favourable one armed bandits were located just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that fun seekers going by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be keen enough to come into the casino … play. Our sentiment is that this is no longer true.
The great majority of the large casinos these days are huge complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot machines near any exits.
An additional traditional rule is that loose one armed bandits are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be energized 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 slot machine games 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 slots.
