Books have been said on this topic, and the bickering and discussion about where the "hot" video slots are placed in a casino are still happening – 60 yrs after slot games were 1st added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.

The classic rule is that the best slots were positioned just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that casino fanatics walking by would be able to see jackpot winners … be mesmerized enough to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our resolution is that this is definitely no longer true.

Many of the mega casinos nowadays are behemothic complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slots close to any exits.

Another classic rule is that loose slot machine games are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Interestingly though, 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 the 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!

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