Volumes have been stated on this issue, and the contention and feuds about where the "hot" slot machine games are installed in a casino are still raging - sixty years after the slots were first placed in casinos.

The standard rule is that the more favourable slot machine games were positioned just inside the main door of the casino; so that individuals passing by would see actual jackpot winners ... be smitten to come into the casino and play. Our conclusion is that this is definitely no longer the case.

Many of the large casinos nowadays are titanic complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the 'loose' slots near to any entrances or exits.

Another traditional rule is that loose slots are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Notably though, we find that this also is not 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 slot machine games 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!

These days, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slots.
