Volumes have been set forth on this item, and the contention and face-offs about where the "hot" slot machine games are positioned in the casino are still on-going – over sixty years after one armed bandits were 1st added to the gaming floor in the casinos.
The classic rule is that the more favourable slot machines were positioned just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that persons going by would see jackpot winners … be keen enough to come into the casino and play. Our standpoint is that this is no longer true.
Nearly all of the mega casinos nowadays are titanic complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slot games near to any exits.
Yet another standard rule is that loose slots are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Nonetheless, 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 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 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!
Today, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
