Although no one will ever truly know where the casinos are likely to place the loosest
slots, we do have some suggestions based on research, staff acquired skill
in casinos, and
talking to various casino personnel. These suggestions are simply that: suggestions.
They might
or might
not apply to a particular casino. Plus, casinos are notoriously subject to
changing their procedures if the players get too lucky!
THE GOOD LOCATIONS FOR SLOTS
Heres where our research and knowledge indicate that the best machines could be
located:
* One row in from the major aisles. Lots of all the people might
still hear the jackpots and the
casino avoids customers walking down the aisle with no intention of playing slots
except for the odd coin or two on the run.
* Near food and snack bars. The reasoning here is that the sound of jackpots will
encourage people to eat more quickly and get out to play the slots.
* Generally, any location that is highly visible from other slot machines. People tend to
spend more dollars when they see other slot players winning.
THE BAD LOCATIONS FOR SLOTS
Here too, the suggestions, while based on research and acquired skill
, may or might
not apply
to the casino you are in. With that disclaimer, here is where we feel the tight machines
are located:
* Near table games. People at table games, especially blackjack, have no intention of
playing slots and the noise of jackpots going off will simply irritate them and perhaps
cause them to leave. This identical
rule applies to machines near the sports betting areas.
* Near show or ticket lines. People in these lines are not going to get out of line to play
slots. For the most part they are done gambling for that measure
and the sound of
jackpots is wasted on them.
* Any remote or low traffic areas. Remember, casinos like for the most people possible
to see a jackpot when its won to encourage them to play.
Good Luck!
