Books have been stated on this subject, and the contention and discussion about where the "hot" video slots are positioned in a casino are still raging – over sixty yrs after slot machines were 1st placed in the casinos.
The quintessential rule is that the superior slot games were put just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that potential players going by would be able to see real jackpot winners … be aroused to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our speculation is that this is definitely no longer the case.
The great majority of the major casinos presently are magnificent complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slot machines near any exits.
An additional classic rule is that loose one armed bandits are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. Interestingly though, we find that this also is not 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 slots 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 perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
