Volumes have been said on this matter, and the conflict and discourse about where the "hot" slots are located in a casino are still bubbling – over sixty years after slot machine games were 1st placed in the casinos.
The traditional rule is that the more favourable one armed bandits were installed just inside the entrance of the casino; so that potential players walking by would see actual jackpot winners … be tempted to come into the casino … play. Our belief is that this is definitely no longer so.
Nearly all of the large casinos today are enormous complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot games close-by any exits.
Yet another standard rule is that loose one armed bandits are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Interestingly though, 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 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!
In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
