Books have been set forth on this topic, and the debates and ruckus about where the "hot" video slots are positioned in the casino are still raging – 60 years after the slot machines were first added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.
The quintessential rule is that the very best one armed bandits were positioned just inside the entrance of the casino; so that individuals going by would see actual jackpot winners and be aroused to come into the casino … play. Our philosophy is that this is definitely no longer true.
Just about all of the mega casinos presently are oversized complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot games near any doors.
Another standard 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 influenced to play. Notably however, 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 one armed bandits 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 machines.
