Volumes have been set forth on this topic, and the debates and disharmony about where the "hot" slot games are installed in the casino are still ongoing – over sixty years after the slot machines were first installed in the casinos.
The standard rule is that the best slot games were put just inside the main entry of the casino; so that fun seekers passing by would see jackpot winners and be impressed enough to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our perspective is that this is not so anymore.
Almost all of the big name casinos presently are oversized complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot machine games in close proximity to any exits.
Yet another classic rule is that loose slot games are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be galvanized 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 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!
In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slots.
