Books have been set forth on this issue, and the debates and interchanges about where the "hot" slot games are placed in the casino are still there – over sixty yrs after the slots were first installed in casinos.
The quintessential rule is that the better slot machines were put just inside the entrance of the casino; so that persons walking by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be inspired to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our perspective is that this is definitely no longer so.
The great majority of the major casinos these days are behemothic complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slots close to any entrances or exits.
An additional classic rule is that loose slot games are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. Notably however, 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 machine 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!
In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
