Slot Machine Location
Volumes have been set forth on this subject, and the disquiet and interchanges about where the "hot" slot games are installed in the casino are still happening – over 60 years after slot machine games were 1st installed in casinos.
The quintessential rule is that the most favorable slots were put just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that potential gamblers passing by would see actual jackpot winners and be convinced to come into the casino and play. Our inference is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Many of the big name casinos nowadays are titanic complexes and you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot machines in close proximity to any of the doors.
Yet another standard 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 galvanized 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 machine 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 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 slots.
