Volumes have been set forth on this item, and the bickering and squabbling about where the "hot" video slots are placed in a casino are still ongoing – sixty years after the slots were first placed in casinos.
The traditional rule is that the better slots were located just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that folks going by would see real jackpot winners … be aroused to come into the casino and play. Our resolution is that this is no longer the case.
Many of the mega casinos these days are jumbo complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ one armed bandits near any entrances.
Another traditional rule is that loose slot games are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be influenced to play. Nonetheless, 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 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 slots.
