Books have been set forth on this matter, and the controversy and squabbling about where the "hot" slot machine games are placed in the casino are still ongoing – more than 60 yrs after slot games were 1st installed in the casinos.
The traditional rule is that the more favourable slots were located just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that everyone passing by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be influenced to come inside and play. Our deduction is that this is definitely no longer true.
The great majority of the mega casinos today are grand complexes … it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slots close-by any entrances or exits.
Yet another standard rule is that loose slot games are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be inspired 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 the slot machines 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.
