Volumes have been said on this topic, and the contention and discourse about where the "hot" slot machine games are located in the casino are still rampant – over sixty yrs after slots were 1st installed in gambling dens.

The quintessential rule is that the better slot machine games were positioned just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that individuals walking by would see jackpot winners and be smitten to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our standpoint is that this is no longer true.

Most of the mega casinos nowadays are mammoth complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot machine games near to any doors.

Another standard rule is that loose slot machine games are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be energized 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 the slot machines 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!

Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slots.
