Volumes have been written on this topic, and the controversy and ruckus about where the "hot" slot machines are placed in the casino are still there – 60 years after slot games were 1st placed in gambling dens.

The standard rule is that the very best slot machine games were put just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that fun seekers going by would see actual jackpot winners and be captivated to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our disposition is that this is no longer true.

The great majority of the major casinos presently are magnificent complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot games close to any entrances.

Yet another classic rule is that loose slots are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Interestingly 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 one armed bandits 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!

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