Volumes have been set forth on this subject, and the contention and interchanges about where the "hot" slot games are located in the casino are still raging – sixty yrs after slots were 1st placed in the casinos.

The standard rule is that the most favorable slot games were positioned just inside the main door of the casino; so that potential gamblers walking by would be able to see jackpot winners and be infatuated enough to come inside … play. Our leaning is that this is definitely no longer true.

Practically all of the big name casinos these days are huge complexes … it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ one armed bandits close to any doors.

An additional classic rule is that loose slot games are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Notably however, we find that this also is no longer a universal rule.

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 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slot machines.
