Slot Machine Location
Volumes have been stated on this subject, and the controversy and squabbling about where the "hot" video slots are installed in the casino are still happening – over sixty years after slot games were 1st installed in gambling dens.
The quintessential rule is that the very best slot games were installed just inside the door of the casino; so that potential players walking by would be able to see actual jackpot winners … be captivated to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our deduction is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Almost all of the big name casinos today are immense complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slot machine games in close proximity to any of the doors.
Yet another classic rule is that loose slot machine games are placed on the major aisles in 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 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 one armed bandits.
