Volumes have been written on this item, and the contention and ruckus about where the "hot" slots are placed in the casino are still there – over 60 yrs after slots were first placed in the casinos.
The standard rule is that the best slot machines were installed just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that casino fanatics walking by would see real jackpot winners and be inspired to come inside … play. Our presumption is that this is definitely no longer true.
Most of the major casinos presently are massive complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot machine games near to any entrances.
An additional classic rule is that loose slot machines are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be influenced to play. Nonetheless, 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 slot machine games 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 machine games.
