Books have been stated on this item, and the contention and ruckus about where the "hot" slots are positioned in a casino are still bubbling – more than 60 yrs after slots were 1st placed in gambling houses.

The quintessential rule is that the more favourable slot machine games were located just inside the entrance of the casino; so that individuals walking by would see real jackpot winners and be smitten to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our stance is that this is definitely no longer so.

Just about all of the large casinos today are titanic complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot machines close to any of the doors.

Yet another standard rule is that loose slot games are put on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Nonetheless, 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!

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