Slot Machine positioning

Volumes have been stated on this matter, and the conflict and face-offs about where the "hot" slot machine games are located in a casino are still on-going – over sixty yrs after one armed bandits were 1st placed in the casinos.
The quintessential rule is that the best slot games were installed just inside the entrance of the casino; so that potential players passing by would see actual jackpot winners … be captivated to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our opinion is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Practically all of the mega casinos today are mammoth complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slots near to any doorways.
Another standard rule is that loose slots are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. However, 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 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!
Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot games.
