Slot Machine Myth: Cold Slots

July 26th, 2011

This is a myth about slots games that pretty much is for those who enjoy the trip to the land casinos to play on the slot machines. This is not to say that online slots are any less worthy of our attention, but now and then we have to have online slots share the limelight with their land-based counter parts.

There are a lot of slot machine myths about where cold slots are placed on the casino floor. Now you can see why this particular myth is not of too much concern for online slots players. However, I could talk about what it could mean if the online slots lineup is not listed alphabetically. Think about that one…

But for now we are going to look at some of the myths about where cold slot machines are placed. If you recall yesterday’s slots post, you will remember that a cold slots game is one that does not seem to be paying out either at all or in very small infrequent intervals. Casinos make lots of money on these slot machines. So naturally they are strategically placed.

One of the slots myths is that cold, or tight, slot machines are placed by the table games. The reason for this is that players coming off the table will play any coins they have. And since the machine is cold it will simply relieve them of their coins before sending them on their way.

Another slot machine placement myth for cold slots has them being placed near the waiting areas for shows or restaurants. This is because patrons waiting to go in or to be seated will kill the time waiting by playing a few coins. Again, the slot machine will relieve them of their coins. But it is unlikely that they will seek another playing area since they are waiting to enter the show or to be seated.

Now wait for this afternoon when I discuss a major point to keep in mind with about the placement of slot machines—cold or hot.
