Slot Machine positioning

Volumes have been set forth on this matter, and the conflict and disagreement about where the "hot" slots are located in the casino are still rampant – over sixty yrs after slot games were 1st placed in casinos.

The traditional rule is that the most favorable slot machines were placed just inside the entrance of the casino; so that folks passing by would be able to see actual jackpot winners … be enticed to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our assurance is that this is no longer true.

Almost all of the big name casinos these days are huge complexes … you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot machines close-by any doorways.

Another standard rule is that loose slot games are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Importantly 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!

These days, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot games.
