Books have been set forth on this subject, and the contention and arguments about where the "hot" slot games are installed in a casino are still on-going – more than 60 years after slot machine games were 1st placed in gambling dens.
The classic rule is that the most favorable slot machine games were positioned just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that persons going by would be able to see actual jackpot winners and be impressed enough to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our slant is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Just about all of the big name casinos nowadays are mammoth complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ one armed bandits near any exits.
An additional classic rule is that loose slot games are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks 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 one armed bandits 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!
In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machines.
