Volumes have been stated on this topic, and the disquiet and interchanges about where the "hot" slot machine games are located in a casino are still bubbling – 60 years after slot machine games were first added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.

The classic rule is that the superior slot machines were put just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that folks walking by would see real jackpot winners … be drawn to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our resolution is that this is definitely no longer the case.

Many of the major casinos nowadays are gigantic complexes and it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot games close to any doors.

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

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