Volumes have been stated on this topic, and the conflict and interchanges about where the "hot" video slots are installed in a casino are still bubbling – sixty yrs after one armed bandits were first placed in gambling dens.
The quintessential rule is that the better slot games were put just inside the main entry of the casino; so that casino fanatics going by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be drawn to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our deduction is that this is definitely no longer true.
Just about all of the large casinos these days are oversized complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slots close to any entrances.
Yet another standard rule is that loose slot machine games are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Nonetheless, 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!
In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot games.
