Volumes have been stated on this subject, and the disquiet and feuds about where the "hot" video slots are located in the casino are still happening – 60 yrs after slot machines were 1st added to the gaming floor in gambling houses.
The quintessential rule is that the superior slot machine games were placed just inside the entry of the casino; so that fun seekers passing by would see real jackpot winners … be inspired to come into the casino and play. Our presumption is that this is definitely no longer true.
Nearly all of the large casinos nowadays are titanic complexes … you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ one armed bandits near any entrances or exits.
Another traditional rule is that loose one armed bandits are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Importantly 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 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slot machines.
