Volumes have been set forth on this topic, and the controversy and interchanges about where the "hot" video slots are installed in the casino are still on-going – over 60 years after slot machines were 1st placed in casinos.
The standard rule is that the better slot machine games were positioned just inside the main entry of the casino; so that people walking by would see real jackpot winners and be enthralled to come inside and play. Our thought is that this is definitely no longer true.
Most of the big name casinos presently are magnificent complexes and you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot machines close to any doorways.
Yet another standard rule is that loose one armed bandits are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be roused 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 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 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!
These days, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slots.
