Volumes have been stated on this item, and the debates and arguments about where the "hot" slots are installed in the casino are still passionate – more than sixty yrs after slot machines were 1st added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.

The traditional rule is that the best slot games were installed just inside the main entry of the casino; so that potential players going by would see real jackpot winners … be captivated to come into the casino … play. Our stance is that this is definitely no longer the case.

Nearly all of the large casinos these days are gigantic complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ one armed bandits near to any doorways.

Another classic rule is that loose slot games are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be motivated to play. Importantly however, 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 the slot machines 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 slot games.
