Slot Machine Location

Volumes have been said on this item, and the conflict and disagreement about where the "hot" slot machine games are placed in the casino are still happening – over sixty years after slot games were 1st added to the gaming floor in the casinos.

The standard rule is that the very best slots were put just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that everyone passing by would be able to see real jackpot winners … be tempted to come inside and play. Our resolve is that this is no longer true.

Nearly all of the mega casinos nowadays are behemothic complexes … you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slots near any doors.

An additional classic rule is that loose slot games are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be encouraged 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 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!

In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot games.
