Books have been said on this item, and the bickering and discussion about where the "hot" video slots are installed in a casino are still on-going - over sixty yrs after slot machine games were first placed in the casinos.

The quintessential rule is that the very best slot games were placed just inside the entry of the casino; so that fun seekers walking by would see jackpot winners and be keen enough to come unto the gambling floor ... play. Our philosophy is that this is definitely no longer the case.

Most of the major casinos today are oversized complexes and now you can't see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the 'loose' slots near to any doorways.

Yet another standard rule is that loose slot machine games are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be influenced to play. Importantly though, 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 slot machines 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 games.
