Volumes have been said on this topic, and the conflict and face-offs about where the "hot" slot machines are located in the casino are still raging – over sixty yrs after slot machine games were 1st placed in gambling houses.

The traditional rule is that the superior slots were installed just inside the main entry of the casino; so that everyone walking by would be able to see actual jackpot winners … be infatuated enough to come inside and play. Our inference is that this is not so anymore.

The great majority of the mega casinos nowadays are giant complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ one armed bandits in close proximity to any exits.

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

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