Books have been written on this issue, and the controversy and disagreement about where the "hot" video slots are positioned in the casino are still raging – over 60 years after slot machines were 1st placed in casinos.

The standard rule is that the most favorable slot machine games were located just inside the entrance of the casino; so that individuals passing by would see real jackpot winners … be aroused to come into the casino and play. Our estimation is that this is definitely no longer the case.

Almost all of the big name casinos nowadays are enormous complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot machine games close to any of the doors.

Yet another traditional rule is that loose slot games are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be galvanized 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 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!

In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot games.
