Books have been said on this item, and the conflict and interchanges about where the "hot" slot games are placed in the casino are still raging – more than 60 years after slot machines were first added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.
The standard rule is that the very best slot machines were placed just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that fun seekers passing by would see jackpot winners … be smitten to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our resolution is that this is no longer true.
The great majority of the big name casinos presently are oversized complexes … it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot games in close proximity to any entrances.
Another traditional rule is that loose slots are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Interestingly though, 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 slot games 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!
These days, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
