Slot Machine positioning

September 21st, 2015 Leave a comment Go to comments

Volumes have been said on this subject, and the debates and discord about where the "hot" one armed bandits are placed in the casino are still on-going – sixty yrs after slot machine games were 1st placed in gambling houses.

The traditional rule is that the more favourable slot machines were positioned just inside the door of the casino; so that persons walking by would see real jackpot winners and be stirred to come into the casino and play. Our belief is that this is definitely no longer the case.

Nearly all of the large casinos presently are humongous complexes and it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slots close-by any exits.

Another standard rule is that loose one armed bandits are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Nonetheless, 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 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.
