Books have been stated on this topic, and the conflict and face-offs about where the "hot" slot machines are positioned in a casino are still passionate – over sixty yrs after slots were 1st placed in the casinos.
The traditional rule is that the more favourable slot machines were put just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that people going by would see real jackpot winners … be drawn to come inside and play. Our belief is that this is no longer the case.
Many of the big name casinos nowadays are colossal complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot machines close-by any doors.
An additional standard rule is that loose slot machine games are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be motivated to play. However, we find that this also isn’t 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!
In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
