Volumes have been stated on this topic, and the debates and arguments about where the "hot" slot games are placed in the casino are still bubbling – more than sixty yrs after slot machines were first placed in gambling dens.

The quintessential rule is that the very best slots were located just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that everyone going by would see jackpot winners and be smitten to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our assessment is that this is definitely no longer the case.

Almost all of the major casinos today are colossal complexes … it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot machines in close proximity to any entrances.

An additional traditional rule is that loose slot machines are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be motivated 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 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!

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