Volumes have been stated on this item, and the contention and disharmony about where the "hot" slots are positioned in a casino are still bubbling – over sixty yrs after the slot machines were first installed in casinos.
The standard rule is that the superior slot machine games were located just inside the door of the casino; so that people walking by would be able to see jackpot winners … be enticed to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our resolution is that this is definitely no longer the case.
The great majority of the large casinos presently are immense complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ one armed bandits near any doors.
Yet another standard rule is that loose one armed bandits are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Notably 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!
In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot machine games.
