Volumes have been written on this matter, and the disquiet and discourse about where the "hot" slots are installed in a casino are still taking place - more than sixty years after the slots were 1st placed in gambling dens.

The classic rule is that the more favourable slot machines were placed just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that potential players walking by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be enthralled to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our conviction is that this is no longer true.

Most of the big name casinos presently are grand complexes ... you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the 'loose' slots close-by any entrances.

Yet another classic rule is that loose slot machine games are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be influenced to play. Notably however, 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 the 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!

These days, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot machine games.
