Books have been set forth on this matter, and the contention and ruckus about where the "hot" slot machines are installed in the casino are still ongoing – over sixty years after the slot machines were 1st placed in gambling houses.
The classic rule is that the very best slot machine games were installed just inside the entry of the casino; so that people passing by would be able to see jackpot winners and be drawn to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our slant is that this is definitely no longer so.
Nearly all of the large casinos these days are huge complexes … it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot machines close-by any doorways.
Yet another classic rule is that loose slot machine games are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be motivated 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 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!
Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slots.
