Books have been said on this issue, and the conflict and disharmony about where the "hot" video slots are located in the casino are still taking place – over 60 yrs after one armed bandits were 1st added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.
The classic rule is that the better one armed bandits were put just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that potential gamblers passing by would be able to see actual jackpot winners and be convinced to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our assurance is that this is not so anymore.
Many of the major casinos nowadays are titanic complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slots near to any entrances.
An additional standard rule is that loose slot games are put on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be influenced to play. Notably 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 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 slot games.
