Volumes have been said on this matter, and the debates and disagreement about where the "hot" slot machines are positioned in the casino are still passionate - over 60 years after the slot machines were 1st added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.

The quintessential rule is that the more favourable slot machine games were positioned just inside the entrance of the casino; so that casino fanatics passing by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be convinced to come inside ... play. Our deduction is that this is no longer true.

Most of the major casinos nowadays are gigantic complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there's no longer a reason to have the 'loose' slot games close-by any of the doors.

An additional classic rule is that loose slot machine games are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be motivated to play. Notably 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 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!

Today, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
