Slot Machine positioning

Volumes have been stated on this matter, and the conflict and ruckus about where the "hot" slot machine games are positioned in a casino are still intense – more than sixty years after slot machines were first placed in gambling houses.

The classic rule is that the best slot machines were positioned just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that persons passing by would be able to see actual jackpot winners … be convinced to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our theorem is that this is definitely no longer so.

Many of the big name casinos today are herculean complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ one armed bandits close-by any doorways.

An additional classic rule is that loose one armed bandits are placed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Importantly 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!

In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
