Volumes have been stated on this topic, and the controversy and face-offs about where the "hot" slots are installed in the casino are still taking place – more than 60 years after the slot machines were first added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.
The quintessential rule is that the most favorable slot machines were located just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that potential gamblers walking by would be able to see real jackpot winners … be keen enough to come inside … play. Our determination is that this is not so anymore.
The majority of the major casinos presently are monstrous complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot games close to any exits.
Yet another classic rule is that loose slot machines are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Importantly though, we find that this also is no longer a universal rule.
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 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!
In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
