Books have been said on this item, and the debates and arguments about where the "hot" slot machines are placed in the casino are still there – over sixty years after slot machine games were 1st placed in the casinos.

The quintessential rule is that the best slot machines were put just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that people passing by would see actual jackpot winners … be stimulated to come into the casino and play. Our deduction is that this is not so anymore.

Just about all of the major casinos these days are super-colossal complexes and it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot machine games close-by any of the doors.

An additional classic rule is that loose slot games are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Interestingly though, 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 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 games.
