THE BAD LOCATIONS FOR SLOTS

Here too, suggestions, while based on research and experience, may or may not apply to casino you are in. With that disclaimer, here is where we feel tight machines are located:

* Near table games. People at table games, especially blackjack, have no intention of playing slots and noise of jackpots going off will simply irritate them and perhaps cause them to leave. This same rule applies to machines near sports betting areas.

* Near show or ticket lines. People in these lines are not going to get out of line to play slots. For most part they are done gambling for that time and sound of jackpots is wasted on them.

* Any remote or low traffic areas. Remember, casinos like for most people possible to see a jackpot when it's won to encourage them to play.

Good Luck!

What casinos found over years is that people walking down busy aisles were frequently on 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 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!

Today, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place loose slots. In another article, we'll discuss good and bad locations by today's standards.

Good luck!
