Books have been stated on this matter, and the disquiet and discourse about where the "hot" slots are installed in a casino are still ongoing – sixty yrs after slot machine games were first placed in the casinos.
The traditional rule is that the superior slot games were positioned just inside the main entry of the casino; so that everyone passing by would see actual jackpot winners and be convinced to come into the casino … play. Our belief is that this is definitely no longer true.
Many of the major casinos nowadays are immense complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slots near any exits.
Another classic rule is that loose slots are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. 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 the 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!
Today, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot machine games.
