Volumes have been said on this item, and the contention and feuds about where the "hot" slot machine games are installed in a casino are still intense – sixty years after slots were first installed in the casinos.

The standard rule is that the most favorable slot machine games were put just inside the door of the casino; so that persons going by would see jackpot winners and be convinced to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our slant is that this is no longer true.

Almost all of the major casinos nowadays are gigantic complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot machines close-by any doors.

An additional classic rule is that loose slot machine games are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be influenced to play. Notably however, we find that this also is no longer a universal rule.

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 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 the very 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slot machines.
