Volumes have been stated on this subject, and the bickering and disharmony about where the "hot" slot machines are positioned in the casino are still bubbling – 60 years after slots were 1st placed in gambling dens.
The quintessential rule is that the best one armed bandits were installed just inside the entrance of the casino; so that fun seekers going by would see actual jackpot winners and be enthralled to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our philosophy is that this is no longer the case.
Almost all of the large casinos presently are enormous complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot machine games in close proximity to any of the doors.
Yet another standard rule is that loose one armed bandits are placed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Importantly though, 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 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 machines.
