Volumes have been set forth on this subject, and the bickering and disagreement about where the "hot" slot machine games are positioned in the casino are still passionate – sixty yrs after slots were 1st added to the gaming floor in gambling houses.

The standard rule is that the best slot machines were positioned just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that persons going by would be able to see real jackpot winners … be convinced to come into the casino … play. Our sneaking suspicion is that this is definitely no longer true.

Almost all of the major casinos nowadays are enormous complexes and you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot machines close to any entrances.

Another standard rule is that loose slot machine games are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. However, 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 the 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!

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