Books have been written on this matter, and the contention and feuds about where the "hot" slot games are located in a casino are still intense – over 60 years after the slots were 1st added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.
The standard rule is that the better slot machines were put just inside the main door of the casino; so that people passing by would see jackpot winners and be convinced to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our stance is that this is definitely no longer the case.
The majority of the large casinos presently are gigantic complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slot machine games close-by any entrances or exits.
An additional traditional rule is that loose slots are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Notably however, 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 slot machine games 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 games.
