Books have been stated on this item, and the conflict and discourse about where the "hot" slots are located in a casino are still ongoing – over sixty yrs after the slots were first placed in gambling dens.
The traditional rule is that the superior slot games were located just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that persons passing by would see real jackpot winners and be challenged to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our theorem is that this is not so anymore.
Just about all of the large casinos today are herculean complexes and it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot machines in close proximity to any entrances.
An additional standard rule is that loose slot games are placed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Notably however, 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!
These days, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machines.
