Volumes have been set forth on this topic, and the conflict and discourse about where the "hot" slot machine games are located in a casino are still ongoing – more than 60 yrs after slot games were 1st placed in gambling houses.
The classic rule is that the best slots were placed just inside the entry of the casino; so that everyone going by would see real jackpot winners … be drawn to come into the casino and play. Our resolution is that this is not so anymore.
The great majority of the large casinos today are jumbo complexes … you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot games in close proximity to any of the doors.
Yet another 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 galvanized to play. 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 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!
Today, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot machine games.
