Volumes have been written on this subject, and the debates and disagreement about where the "hot" slot games are positioned in the casino are still ongoing – over sixty yrs after slot machine games were first added to the gaming floor in gambling houses.

The traditional rule is that the best slot games were installed just inside the entry of the casino; so that folks passing by would see actual jackpot winners and be mesmerized enough to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our philosophy is that this is not so anymore.

Almost all of the major casinos these days are colossal complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slot machines close to any doors.

An additional classic rule is that loose slots are put on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. 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!

Today, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot games.
