Books have been stated on this item, and the controversy and discord about where the "hot" slots are installed in a casino are still bubbling – over sixty yrs after slots were 1st placed in the casinos.

The traditional rule is that the superior slot machines were placed just inside the main entry of the casino; so that people passing by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be keen enough to come inside … play. Our deduction is that this is no longer true.

Almost all of the mega casinos nowadays are gigantic complexes … it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slot machines close-by any entrances or exits.

An additional traditional rule is that loose slots are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Importantly though, we find that this also is not a universal rule any more.

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 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!

These days, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot games.
