Volumes have been written on this matter, and the conflict and discord about where the "hot" video slots are installed in a casino are still bubbling – 60 yrs after slot machines were 1st installed in gambling dens.
The traditional rule is that the most favorable slot machine games were located just inside the entrance of the casino; so that individuals walking by would be able to see actual jackpot winners … be baited to come inside … play. Our finding is that this is definitely no longer so.
Almost all of the big name casinos nowadays are magnificent complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot machine games near any doorways.
Another traditional rule is that loose slot machines are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be galvanized 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 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.
