Volumes have been set forth on this issue, and the debates and interchanges about where the "hot" video slots are located in a casino are still passionate – sixty years after the slot machines were first added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.
The traditional rule is that the very best slot machine games were installed just inside the entry of the casino; so that potential gamblers passing by would be able to see jackpot winners and be challenged to come inside … play. Our determination is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Most of the mega casinos these days are colossal complexes … it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot machine games near to any of the doors.
Another standard rule is that loose slot games are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be motivated to play. Importantly though, 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 the slot machines 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!
Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slots.
