Slot Machine Location

[ English ]

Volumes have been written on this matter, and the contention and interchanges about where the "hot" one armed bandits are installed in the casino are still bubbling – sixty yrs after slot machine games were 1st placed in casinos.

The quintessential rule is that the very best slots were put just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that folks walking by would see actual jackpot winners … be captivated to come inside … play. Our assurance is that this is not so anymore.

The majority of the mega casinos presently are grand complexes and you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot machines near any doors.

Another traditional rule is that loose slot machines are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Nonetheless, 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!

Today, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot games.
