Volumes have been stated on this matter, and the bickering and ruckus about where the "hot" slot games are installed in a casino are still there – over 60 yrs after slot machine games were 1st installed in gambling dens.
The traditional rule is that the very best slot games were installed just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that people passing by would be able to see real jackpot winners … be smitten to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our thought is that this is definitely no longer true.
Nearly all of the large casinos nowadays are mammoth complexes … it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slots near any doors.
An additional classic rule is that loose slot machines are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Nonetheless, 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slot games.
