Books have been said on this subject, and the contention and discord about where the "hot" slot games are placed in the casino are still on-going – more than sixty years after one armed bandits were 1st placed in the casinos.

The classic rule is that the very best slots were located just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that persons going by would be able to see actual jackpot winners … be enticed to come into the casino and play. Our slant is that this is definitely no longer the case.

Practically all of the big name casinos nowadays are immense complexes and it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot machine games near to any entrances.

Yet another classic rule is that loose slot games are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. However, 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 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!

Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slots.
