Volumes have been set forth on this issue, and the conflict and discussion about where the "hot" video slots are installed in the casino are still happening – more than 60 years after the slot machines were 1st added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.
The quintessential rule is that the better slots were positioned just inside the entry of the casino; so that casino fanatics passing by would see real jackpot winners and be challenged to come into the casino … play. Our slant is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Most of the big name casinos nowadays are enormous complexes and it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot games close to any doors.
Yet another classic rule is that loose slot machines are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be energized 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 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 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.
