Volumes have been written on this subject, and the conflict and discourse about where the "hot" slots are located in a casino are still bubbling – over sixty years after the slots were first placed in gambling dens.

The traditional rule is that the most favorable slot machine games were located just inside the main entry of the casino; so that persons going by would be able to see actual jackpot winners and be infatuated enough to come into the casino … play. Our theorem is that this is definitely no longer true.

The majority of the mega casinos nowadays are giant complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot games close to any entrances.

An additional classic rule is that loose slot machines are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be encouraged 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 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 slots.
