Books have been said on this item, and the conflict and feuds about where the "hot" slots are located in a casino are still there – more than sixty yrs after slots were 1st placed in gambling dens.

The traditional rule is that the very best slot machine games were placed just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that potential players walking by would see real jackpot winners … be enthralled to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our finding is that this is not so anymore.

Most of the big name casinos these days are grand complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ one armed bandits close-by any doors.

Yet another standard rule is that loose slot machines are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Importantly 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!

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