Books have been stated on this issue, and the contention and arguments about where the "hot" video slots are located in the casino are still intense - more than 60 yrs after slot games were first added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.

The quintessential rule is that the superior slot games were installed just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that everyone walking by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be enthralled to come unto the gaming floor ... play. Our speculation is that this is not so anymore.

Nearly all of the major casinos nowadays are enormous complexes ... now you can't see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the 'loose' slots near to any of the doors.

An additional classic rule is that loose slot machine games are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Interestingly though, we find that this also isn't 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!

These days, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machines.
