Volumes have been stated on this matter, and the disquiet and disharmony about where the "hot" slot games are positioned in a casino are still on-going – more than 60 yrs after slot machine games were first added to the gaming floor in casinos.
The traditional rule is that the superior slots were positioned just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that potential players going by would be able to see actual jackpot winners and be drawn to come into the casino … play. Our attitude is that this is no longer the case.
The majority of the mega casinos nowadays are humongous complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slots close to any doors.
Yet another standard rule is that loose slots are placed 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 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 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!
In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
