Volumes have been stated on this issue, and the debates and ruckus about where the "hot" slot machine games are installed in the casino are still there – over sixty yrs after the slots were 1st installed in casinos.
The traditional rule is that the very best slot games were located just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that everyone passing by would see jackpot winners … be mesmerized enough to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our stance is that this is definitely no longer true.
Just about all of the big name casinos presently are immense complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot machines near any doors.
An additional standard rule is that loose one armed bandits are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Interestingly though, 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 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 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!
These days, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
