Books have been said on this item, and the conflict and disharmony about where the "hot" slot machines are placed in a casino are still passionate – over 60 years after slots were 1st installed in casinos.

The quintessential rule is that the most favorable slot games were positioned just inside the entry of the casino; so that casino fanatics going by would see real jackpot winners … be influenced to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our interpretation is that this is not so anymore.

Most of the big name casinos presently are titanic complexes and you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot games near any doors.

Another standard rule is that loose slots are put on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Nonetheless, 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 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!

In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot games.
