Volumes have been said on this item, and the debates and discussion about where the "hot" slots are placed in the casino are still there - over 60 years after slot machine games were first placed in the casinos.

The traditional rule is that the best slot machine games were installed just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that fun seekers walking by would see real jackpot winners and be impressed enough to come inside ... play. Our assessment is that this is not so anymore.

Just about all of the big name casinos today are titanic complexes ... it's no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the 'loose' slot games in close proximity to any entrances or exits.

Yet another traditional rule is that loose slot machine games are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be motivated 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 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!

Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slots.
