Volumes have been written on this issue, and the conflict and feuds about where the "hot" slot games are installed in a casino are still happening – 60 yrs after slot games were 1st placed in casinos.
The traditional rule is that the most favorable slot machine games were positioned just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that everyone walking by would see real jackpot winners … be possessed to come inside … play. Our estimation is that this is no longer true.
Most of the big name casinos nowadays are oversized complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slots close to any doors.
An additional classic rule is that loose one armed bandits are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Notably however, we find that this also is no longer a universal rule.
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 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!
Today, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
