Volumes have been stated on this issue, and the bickering and arguments about where the "hot" one armed bandits are positioned in a casino are still intense – more than 60 yrs after the slots were 1st added to the gaming floor in the casinos.
The standard rule is that the very best slot machine games were placed just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that casino fanatics passing by would be able to see jackpot winners … be challenged to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our assessment is that this is definitely no longer so.
The majority of the big name casinos today are immense complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot machine games near to any entrances.
An additional classic rule is that loose slot games are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Importantly however, we find that this also isn’t 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 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!
In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot machines.
