Books have been said on this issue, and the contention and discussion about where the "hot" slot machines are positioned in the casino are still taking place – more than sixty years after slot games were 1st installed in the casinos.
The standard rule is that the better slot machines were located just inside the main entry of the casino; so that persons walking by would be able to see jackpot winners and be enthralled to come into the casino and play. Our resolution is that this is no longer true.
The great majority of the big name casinos presently are behemothic complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot machine games near any entrances or exits.
Yet another traditional rule is that loose slot machine games are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Importantly 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 slot machine 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!
Today, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
