Books have been said on this item, and the controversy and interchanges about where the "hot" video slots are located in a casino are still bubbling – more than 60 years after slots were 1st installed in gambling houses.
The quintessential rule is that the better slot games were located just inside the entry of the casino; so that folks passing by would be able to see jackpot winners … be enticed to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our belief is that this is no longer true.
The majority of the major casinos these days are huge complexes … you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot machine games in close proximity to any entrances or exits.
An additional standard rule is that loose slot games are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Nonetheless, 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 slot 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 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 perspective about where to place the loose slots.
