Books have been written on this subject, and the bickering and disharmony about where the "hot" slot machines are placed in the casino are still passionate - over 60 yrs after the slot machines were first placed in gambling houses.

The quintessential rule is that the very best slot machine games were placed just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that individuals passing by would be able to see actual jackpot winners and be challenged to come into the casino ... play. Our attitude is that this is definitely no longer so.

The majority of the large casinos these days are humongous complexes and you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there's no longer a reason to have the 'loose' slots in close proximity to any entrances or exits.

Yet another standard rule is that loose slot games are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Nonetheless, 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 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 very 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 machines.
