Slot Machine Location
Volumes have been stated on this topic, and the disquiet and disharmony about where the "hot" slot machine games are positioned in a casino are still intense – more than sixty years after the slot machines were 1st placed in gambling houses.
The traditional rule is that the better slot machine games were installed just inside the main door of the casino; so that people going by would see actual jackpot winners … be captivated to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our stance is that this is definitely no longer the case.
The majority of the major casinos nowadays are magnificent complexes and you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot machines in close proximity to any entrances.
Yet another classic rule is that loose one armed bandits are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Nonetheless, 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 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!
Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
