Books have been stated on this item, and the controversy and discussion about where the "hot" slot machine games are positioned in a casino are still there - over 60 years after the slot machines were 1st installed in gambling dens.

The classic rule is that the better slot machines were put just inside the main door of the casino; so that individuals walking by would be able to see actual jackpot winners and be keen enough to come unto the gaming floor ... play. Our assurance is that this is not so anymore.

Nearly all of the major casinos today are oversized complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there's no longer a reason to place the 'loose' slot machine games in close proximity to any exits.

Another standard rule is that loose slots are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Importantly though, we find that this also is not 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!

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