Volumes have been set forth on this issue, and the controversy and disharmony about where the "hot" slot machine games are positioned in a casino are still rampant - more than 60 yrs after slot machine games were 1st placed in the casinos.

The standard rule is that the best slot machine games were located just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that potential gamblers walking by would see jackpot winners ... be tempted to come into the casino ... play. Our interpretation is that this is definitely no longer the case.

Just about all of the mega casinos nowadays are enormous complexes ... now you can't see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the 'loose' slot machines in close proximity to any doorways.

Another standard rule is that loose slots are put on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Notably however, 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 slot games 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!

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