Volumes have been stated on this issue, and the bickering and discussion about where the "hot" slot machine games are located in a casino are still happening – 60 years after slots were 1st placed in the casinos.

The traditional rule is that the more favourable slot machine games were put just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that casino fanatics passing by would see real jackpot winners and be convinced to come inside and play. Our belief is that this is definitely no longer true.

Most of the big name casinos these days are herculean complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slots close-by any entrances.

Yet another traditional rule is that loose slots are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Importantly 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 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 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 slot games.
