Volumes have been set forth on this matter, and the contention and feuds about where the "hot" slot games are positioned in the casino are still taking place – more than sixty years after the slot machines were 1st installed in gambling houses.

The traditional rule is that the best slot machine games were positioned just inside the door of the casino; so that potential gamblers passing by would see actual jackpot winners … be possessed to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our philosophy is that this is no longer true.

Practically all of the major casinos nowadays are titanic complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slots close-by any entrances or exits.

Another classic rule is that loose slot machine games are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. Importantly however, 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 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 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 machine games.
