Volumes have been set forth on this item, and the disquiet and squabbling about where the "hot" one armed bandits are installed in the casino are still bubbling – over 60 yrs after slots were first installed in casinos.
The standard rule is that the better slot machine games were placed just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that casino fanatics going by would be able to see real jackpot winners … be inspired to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our assurance is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Almost all of the big name casinos these days are colossal complexes and it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot games near any exits.
An additional classic rule is that loose slot machine games are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be influenced to play. Importantly though, 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 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slot machine games.
