Books have been written on this matter, and the bickering and disagreement about where the "hot" video slots are positioned in a casino are still taking place – more than sixty years after the slots were 1st added to the gaming floor in the casinos.

The quintessential rule is that the more favourable slot machines were put just inside the entry of the casino; so that everyone going by would be able to see jackpot winners … be intrigued enough to come into the casino and play. Our assessment is that this is definitely no longer true.

Practically all of the large casinos today are grand complexes … you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot games in close proximity to any doors.

An additional classic rule is that loose slot games are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Notably however, we find that this also isn’t 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 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 perspective about where to place the loose slot games.
