Volumes have been set forth on this issue, and the bickering and squabbling about where the "hot" video slots are positioned in the casino are still happening – sixty yrs after one armed bandits were 1st installed in gambling dens.
The standard rule is that the more favourable slots were positioned just inside the entry of the casino; so that potential players walking by would be able to see jackpot winners and be enthralled to come inside … play. Our assurance is that this is not so anymore.
Most of the major casinos today are grand complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot machine games in close proximity to any exits.
Yet another classic rule is that loose slots are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. Interestingly 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 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.
