Books have been set forth on this matter, and the controversy and discord about where the "hot" slot games are positioned in the casino are still rampant – over 60 yrs after slots were 1st placed in gambling dens.
The standard rule is that the very best slot machine games were positioned just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that fun seekers passing by would see jackpot winners … be influenced to come into the casino … play. Our point of view is that this is definitely no longer so.
Just about all of the big name casinos presently are humongous complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ one armed bandits near to any entrances.
Yet another traditional rule is that loose slots are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be influenced to play. Interestingly 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 one armed bandits 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!
Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot games.
