Volumes have been stated on this subject, and the bickering and discourse about where the "hot" slot machine games are installed in a casino are still bubbling - over sixty years after slot machines were first placed in gambling dens.

The standard rule is that the most favorable slots were placed just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that individuals passing by would see jackpot winners ... be challenged to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our viewpoint is that this is definitely no longer the case.

The majority of the large casinos these days are huge complexes ... it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the 'loose' slots in close proximity to any exits.

An additional traditional rule is that loose slots are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be energized 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 machine 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 machine games.
