Slot Machine positioning

Volumes have been stated on this issue, and the bickering and squabbling about where the "hot" one armed bandits are installed in the casino are still there – more than sixty yrs after slot games were first installed in casinos.

The classic rule is that the very best slot machine games were placed just inside the door of the casino; so that fun seekers going by would see real jackpot winners and be stirred to come inside and play. Our determination is that this is not so anymore.

Almost all of the major casinos today are huge complexes … it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot machine games in close proximity to any of the doors.

An additional traditional rule is that loose slots are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be roused 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 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 perspective about where to place the loose slot machines.
