Slot Machine positioning

Books have been set forth on this issue, and the bickering and ruckus about where the "hot" slot machine games are placed in the casino are still intense – over 60 years after slot machine games were 1st added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.

The quintessential rule is that the very best slots were positioned just inside the main door of the casino; so that everyone going by would be able to see real jackpot winners … be captivated to come inside and play. Our sentiment is that this is definitely no longer the case.

Many of the mega casinos nowadays are gigantic complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot games close to any entrances.

An additional traditional rule is that loose slot machine games are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be roused 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 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 machines.
