Volumes have been stated on this matter, and the disquiet and squabbling about where the "hot" video slots are positioned in the casino are still intense – more than 60 years after the slot machines were 1st installed in gambling dens.

The standard rule is that the very best one armed bandits were installed just inside the main door of the casino; so that individuals passing by would see jackpot winners … be impressed enough to come inside and play. Our observation is that this is definitely no longer the case.

Most of the major casinos presently are gigantic complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slots near any entrances.

Another classic rule is that loose slots are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Nonetheless, 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 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!

In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slots.
