Slot Machine Location
Books have been stated on this matter, and the conflict and arguments about where the "hot" slot machine games are positioned in a casino are still raging – more than 60 yrs after the slot machines were 1st installed in casinos.
The traditional rule is that the very best slot machines were installed just inside the door of the casino; so that fun seekers passing by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be infatuated enough to come inside … play. Our inclination is that this is no longer the case.
Practically all of the large casinos these days are humongous complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot machine games close-by any doorways.
An additional classic rule is that loose one armed bandits are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be influenced to play. However, 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 the slot machines 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!
These days, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machines.
