Slot Machine Location
Books have been stated on this topic, and the bickering and discord about where the "hot" slot games are installed in the casino are still taking place – over sixty yrs after one armed bandits were 1st placed in casinos.
The standard rule is that the more favourable slot games were located just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that folks passing by would be able to see jackpot winners … be keen enough to come inside and play. Our philosophy is that this is definitely no longer true.
The great majority of the big name casinos presently are gigantic complexes … it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot machines near to any doors.
Another classic rule is that loose slot machine games are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be inspired 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 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!
In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
