Volumes have been stated on this topic, and the controversy and disharmony about where the "hot" slot machine games are located in the casino are still rampant – over sixty yrs after slot games were 1st added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.
The quintessential rule is that the superior slots were placed just inside the main entry of the casino; so that potential players walking by would be able to see actual jackpot winners and be influenced to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our theory is that this is no longer the case.
Practically all of the major casinos presently are super-colossal complexes … it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot games in close proximity to any doors.
An additional classic rule is that loose slot games are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Importantly 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 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slot games.
