Volumes have been set forth on this topic, and the debates and discussion about where the "hot" video slots are located in the casino are still intense – over 60 years after the slot machines were 1st placed in gambling dens.

The standard rule is that the most favorable slot machine games were put just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that fun seekers walking by would see actual jackpot winners and be captivated to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our verdict is that this is definitely no longer true.

The great majority of the big name casinos presently are gigantic complexes … it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot machine games near any entrances.

Yet another classic rule is that loose slot games are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be galvanized 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 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!

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