Volumes have been set forth on this matter, and the conflict and arguments about where the "hot" video slots are placed in a casino are still ongoing – more than sixty yrs after slot machine games were 1st installed in gambling dens.
The standard rule is that the superior slots were put just inside the entrance of the casino; so that individuals going by would see real jackpot winners and be impressed enough to come inside … play. Our inference is that this is no longer true.
The majority of the major casinos presently are super-colossal complexes … it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slots in close proximity to any doorways.
Another classic rule is that loose slot machine games are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. However, 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 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!
Today, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
