Books have been written on this matter, and the disquiet and arguments about where the "hot" slot games are placed in the casino are still happening – over 60 yrs after the slot machines were first placed in gambling houses.

The traditional rule is that the very best slot machines were placed just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that folks going by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be stimulated to come inside and play. Our reasoning is that this is definitely no longer true.

Nearly all of the mega casinos presently are behemothic complexes … it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slots close to any doorways.

Another traditional rule is that loose slot games are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Notably though, 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 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 perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
