Books have been stated on this topic, and the conflict and disharmony about where the "hot" video slots are positioned in the casino are still on-going – 60 years after slot machines were 1st installed in the casinos.
The standard rule is that the very best slots were positioned just inside the entry of the casino; so that folks going by would be able to see actual jackpot winners and be challenged to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our resolve is that this is definitely no longer so.
The majority of the mega casinos these days are giant complexes and it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot machine games close-by any entrances or exits.
An additional traditional rule is that loose slot games are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Interestingly though, 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 slots 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slot games.
