Books have been stated on this matter, and the conflict and discord about where the "hot" video slots are positioned in the casino are still passionate – over 60 years after the slot machines were 1st added to the gaming floor in the casinos.

The traditional rule is that the better slots were located just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that folks walking by would see real jackpot winners … be attracted to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our leaning is that this is not so anymore.

The great majority of the big name casinos presently are giant complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot games close to any entrances.

An additional traditional rule is that loose slots are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Interestingly 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 the 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 perspective about where to place the loose slots.
