Volumes have been stated on this topic, and the disquiet and disharmony about where the "hot" slot machine games are placed in the casino are still ongoing – more than 60 years after slot machine games were 1st placed in casinos.
The standard rule is that the better slot machine games were placed just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that fun seekers passing by would see real jackpot winners … be attracted to come inside and play. Our opinion is that this is definitely no longer true.
Nearly all of the large casinos nowadays are colossal complexes … it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot machines near to any of the doors.
Yet another standard rule is that loose slot machines are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be influenced 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 the slot machines 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!
Today, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slots.
