Volumes have been said on this issue, and the bickering and arguments about where the "hot" slot games are located in the casino are still rampant – more than 60 yrs after slots were 1st installed in gambling dens.
The classic rule is that the better slot games were installed just inside the entry of the casino; so that persons going by would see jackpot winners and be inspired to come inside … play. Our presumption is that this is not so anymore.
Practically all of the mega casinos presently are humongous complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot machines near to any entrances.
Yet another traditional rule is that loose slot machines are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Importantly though, 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 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 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!
Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot games.
