Volumes have been stated on this issue, and the disquiet and disharmony about where the "hot" video slots are placed in a casino are still ongoing – over sixty years after slot games were 1st installed in the casinos.
The standard rule is that the best slot machine games were installed just inside the main entry of the casino; so that persons passing by would see actual jackpot winners … be titillated to come inside and play. Our belief is that this is definitely no longer true.
The great majority of the large casinos these days are magnificent complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slots close-by any doorways.
An additional standard rule is that loose slots are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. Notably though, we find that this also isn’t 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 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 machines.
