As you enter the casino proper, you see hopeful gamblers, often two-deep, standing in line, patiently waiting their turn to reap payoffs from the slot machines. You operate the slot machines by tapping the screen, pushing the buttons, or (increasingly rare) yanking down on the lever to the side. Larger casinos hold aisle after aisle of slots, like rows of corn.

Casinos typically place the most profitable slot machines within easy access to the main traffic aisles, such as the foyer, restaurants, and bars. Casinos are extremely careful to place high-hit frequency slots within earshot of the thronging masses. Oh, and “profitable” in the above sense refers to the casino making more money, not you.
