Volumes have been written on this topic, and the contention and interchanges about where the "hot" slot games are positioned in a casino are still there – over 60 years after slot machine games were first placed in the casinos.

The classic rule is that the best slot machine games were installed just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that fun seekers passing by would be able to see actual jackpot winners … be enticed to come inside and play. Our slant is that this is definitely no longer the case.

Almost all of the major casinos presently are enormous complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot machine games near any entrances.

Another standard rule is that loose slot machine games are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Nonetheless, 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 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 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!

Today, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
