Books have been stated on this subject, and the disquiet and disharmony about where the "hot" slot machine games are placed in the casino are still on-going – sixty years after slot games were first placed in the casinos.
The classic rule is that the best slots were placed just inside the main door of the casino; so that individuals going by would be able to see actual jackpot winners and be infatuated enough to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our view is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Practically all of the big name casinos these days are immense complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slots close to any exits.
Yet another standard rule is that loose slot machine games are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. 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 the 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.
