Books have been said on this matter, and the disquiet and discord about where the "hot" slot machine games are installed in the casino are still on-going – more than sixty yrs after slot games were 1st installed in gambling dens.

The standard rule is that the superior slot games were positioned just inside the entry of the casino; so that people walking by would be able to see jackpot winners … be possessed to come into the casino and play. Our verdict is that this is definitely no longer true.

Just about all of the large casinos presently are massive complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slot games near to any exits.

Yet another standard rule is that loose slot machines are put on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Notably however, we find that this also isn’t 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 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!

Today, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slots.
