Slot Machine positioning
Volumes have been set forth on this item, and the bickering and feuds about where the "hot" slots are installed in the casino are still passionate – over 60 years after the slots were 1st installed in gambling houses.
The standard rule is that the better one armed bandits were located just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that everyone going by would see jackpot winners … be enticed to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our perspective is that this is no longer the case.
The majority of the mega casinos presently are colossal complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot machines close-by any entrances.
An additional standard rule is that loose slot games are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be motivated to play. Notably though, 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!
Today, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
