Volumes have been stated on this subject, and the controversy and discord about where the "hot" slot machine games are placed in a casino are still rampant – 60 years after slots were 1st installed in gambling houses.

The traditional rule is that the most favorable slot machine games were placed just inside the main door of the casino; so that people going by would see real jackpot winners and be convinced to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our conclusion is that this is definitely no longer so.

Just about all of the major casinos these days are enormous complexes and it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot games close-by any entrances or exits.

Yet another classic rule is that loose slots are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Importantly though, 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 slot games 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 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 perspective about where to place the loose slot games.
