Slot Machine positioning

by Dennis on Oct.21, 2023, under Slots

Volumes have been stated on this matter, and the contention and squabbling about where the "hot" video slots are placed in the casino are still on-going – more than sixty years after the slots were first installed in casinos.

The standard rule is that the better slot machines were positioned just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that folks going by would be able to see real jackpot winners … be titillated to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our assurance is that this is definitely no longer true.

Many of the mega casinos these days are magnificent 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 close to any doorways.

An additional standard rule is that loose one armed bandits are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Importantly though, we find that this also isn’t 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 the 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!

Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot games.
