Volumes have been said on this matter, and the bickering and discussion about where the "hot" slot machine games are located in the casino are still bubbling – over 60 years after slot games were first placed in the casinos.
The quintessential rule is that the superior slot machines were placed just inside the main entry of the casino; so that casino fanatics walking by would see actual jackpot winners and be keen enough to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our opinion is that this is definitely no longer so.
Most of the major casinos today are huge complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot machines near to any of the doors.
An additional standard rule is that loose slot games are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be influenced to play. Importantly 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!
These days, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
