Books have been said on this item, and the conflict and discussion about where the "hot" slot machine games are placed in a casino are still happening – over sixty years after the slot machines were first added to the gaming floor in casinos.

The standard rule is that the very best slot machines were located just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that individuals walking by would see actual jackpot winners and be possessed to come into the casino … play. Our philosophy is that this is not so anymore.

Practically all of the mega casinos these days are enormous complexes and you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot games near any exits.

Yet another standard rule is that loose slots are put on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more fun seekers 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 one armed bandits 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 machines.
