Volumes have been set forth on this topic, and the bickering and ruckus about where the "hot" slot machine games are placed in the casino are still ongoing – over sixty years after slot machines were 1st installed in casinos.
The classic rule is that the very best slot machines were put just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that people going by would be able to see jackpot winners and be possessed to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our inclination is that this is no longer the case.
Many of the big name casinos presently are titanic complexes and you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot machine games near any entrances.
Another standard rule is that loose slot games are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be influenced to play. Interestingly though, 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 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!
Today, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot games.
