Slot Machine Location
Volumes have been set forth on this subject, and the bickering and discourse about where the "hot" slot machines are installed in the casino are still on-going – more than sixty yrs after slots were 1st installed in casinos.
The standard rule is that the superior slot games were placed just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that individuals passing by would be able to see actual jackpot winners … be possessed to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our theorem is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Nearly all of the mega casinos today are monstrous complexes … it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot machine games near to any entrances or exits.
Another standard rule is that loose slot games are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. 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 slots 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 philosophy about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
