Volumes have been stated on this topic, and the conflict and interchanges about where the "hot" slot games are placed in a casino are still there – 60 yrs after the slot machines were first added to the gaming floor in gambling houses.
The quintessential rule is that the most favorable slot machine games were installed just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that fun seekers passing by would be able to see real jackpot winners … be inspired to come into the casino … play. Our interpretation is that this is not so anymore.
Many of the big name casinos nowadays are monstrous complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot machines close to any entrances or exits.
Yet another classic rule is that loose one armed bandits are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be influenced to play. Importantly however, we find that this also is not 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 slot games 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!
Today, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machines.
