Slot Machine Location
Books have been set forth on this item, and the bickering and disagreement about where the "hot" slot machine games are positioned in the casino are still happening – over sixty years after slot games were 1st placed in casinos.
The quintessential rule is that the better slot machine games were put just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that fun seekers walking by would be able to see jackpot winners and be infatuated enough to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our assessment is that this is not so anymore.
The majority of the major casinos these days are huge complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ one armed bandits close to any doors.
Another classic rule is that loose slot machine games are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. However, 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 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 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!
These days, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
