Volumes have been said on this issue, and the debates and feuds about where the "hot" slot machine games are positioned in a casino are still intense – more than sixty yrs after the slots were first placed in casinos.
The classic rule is that the very best one armed bandits were placed just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that persons walking by would see actual jackpot winners and be challenged to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our observation is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Most of the major casinos today are giant complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slot machine games near to any exits.
Another standard rule is that loose slot machine games are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Nonetheless, 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 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 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!
Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slots.
