Volumes have been set forth on this topic, and the controversy and ruckus about where the "hot" video slots are located in the casino are still rampant – more than sixty yrs after slot machine games were 1st placed in the casinos.
The quintessential rule is that the more favourable slot games were placed just inside the entry of the casino; so that individuals going by would see actual jackpot winners and be stimulated to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our assurance is that this is definitely no longer true.
Nearly all of the major casinos today are titanic complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slot games close to any doors.
Yet another standard rule is that loose one armed bandits are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers 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 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!
Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot games.
