Books have been written on this issue, and the bickering and disharmony about where the "hot" slot machine games are installed in the casino are still on-going – more than sixty years after the slot machines were 1st added to the gaming floor in gambling houses.
The quintessential rule is that the more favourable slots were located just inside the entrance of the casino; so that everyone passing by would see jackpot winners and be stirred to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our sneaking suspicion is that this is definitely no longer true.
Nearly all of the major casinos these days are monstrous complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slots in close proximity to any exits.
Another classic rule is that loose slot machines are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Nonetheless, 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 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 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 games.
