Volumes have been set forth on this issue, and the debates and ruckus about where the "hot" slot machines are installed in the casino are still ongoing – over 60 yrs after slot machines were 1st placed in the casinos.
The standard rule is that the more favourable slot machines were positioned just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that casino fanatics passing by would be able to see jackpot winners and be intrigued enough to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our theorem is that this is definitely no longer so.
Most of the major casinos presently are giant complexes and it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slots near to any doors.
Another traditional rule is that loose slot games are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Notably however, 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 the 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 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slot machine games.
