Books have been written on this matter, and the disquiet and discourse about where the "hot" slot machine games are placed in a casino are still taking place – more than 60 years after slots were first installed in gambling houses.
The quintessential rule is that the more favourable slot games were located just inside the entrance of the casino; so that fun seekers going by would be able to see actual jackpot winners … be aroused to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our presumption is that this is no longer the case.
The great majority of the big name casinos nowadays are herculean complexes … it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot machine games near to any entrances.
An additional traditional rule is that loose slots are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be influenced to play. However, 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 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!
Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
