Volumes have been set forth on this topic, and the contention and disharmony about where the "hot" video slots are located in the casino are still bubbling – more than sixty yrs after the slots were 1st added to the gaming floor in the casinos.
The standard rule is that the best slot machines were located just inside the main entry of the casino; so that casino fanatics passing by would see real jackpot winners … be drawn to come inside and play. Our slant is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Many of the large casinos today are mammoth complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot machines near any of the doors.
Another classic rule is that loose one armed bandits are put on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. However, 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 one armed bandits 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slot machine games.
