Volumes have been stated on this subject, and the disquiet and face-offs about where the "hot" slot machine games are positioned in a casino are still raging - over sixty years after the slots were 1st placed in gambling houses.

The classic rule is that the very best slot machine games were put just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that individuals passing by would be able to see jackpot winners ... be enthralled to come inside ... play. Our inclination is that this is no longer true.

The majority of the large casinos these days are gigantic complexes and now you can't see inside from the sidewalk, so there's no longer a reason to place the 'loose' slot games in close proximity to any of the doors.

An additional classic rule is that loose slot machine games are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Importantly 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 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!

In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot games.
