Books have been set forth on this subject, and the bickering and arguments about where the "hot" slot games are installed in the casino are still there – more than sixty years after slots were 1st placed in the casinos.

The classic rule is that the superior slot machines were located just inside the main door of the casino; so that people passing by would see jackpot winners … be tempted to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our attitude is that this is definitely no longer so.

Practically all of the large casinos today are gigantic complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slot games near to any exits.

An additional traditional rule is that loose slot machine games are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be motivated to play. Nonetheless, 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 slots 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slots.
