Volumes have been stated on this topic, and the conflict and ruckus about where the "hot" slot games are located in a casino are still passionate – over sixty years after slot machines were 1st added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.
The classic rule is that the best one armed bandits were put just inside the main entry of the casino; so that potential players passing by would see jackpot winners … be smitten to come inside and play. Our attitude is that this is no longer true.
Many of the mega casinos these days are super-colossal complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot machine games near to any doors.
An additional classic rule is that loose slot machine games are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Interestingly though, 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!
In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot games.
