Volumes have been stated on this item, and the bickering and squabbling about where the "hot" slot machines are located in the casino are still there – over sixty years after slot machines were 1st installed in the casinos.

The standard rule is that the more favourable slots were positioned just inside the entrance of the casino; so that casino fanatics walking by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be challenged to come inside … play. Our sentiment is that this is not so anymore.

The majority of the large casinos nowadays are herculean complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slots close-by any exits.

Yet another standard rule is that loose slot machine games are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. Importantly 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 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!

Today, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot games.
