Slot Machine Location
Books have been stated on this issue, and the controversy and discord about where the "hot" slot machines are positioned in a casino are still there – more than sixty yrs after slot machine games were 1st placed in the casinos.
The traditional rule is that the very best slot games were located just inside the entrance of the casino; so that everyone walking by would see real jackpot winners and be smitten to come inside … play. Our sentiment is that this is not so anymore.
Just about all of the large casinos these days are oversized complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ one armed bandits close-by any exits.
Yet another classic rule is that loose slots are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be encouraged 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!
Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
