Books have been stated on this item, and the disquiet and ruckus about where the "hot" slot machine games are positioned in a casino are still rampant - sixty yrs after the slot machines were first placed in gambling dens.

The classic rule is that the better slot games were installed just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that folks walking by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be stimulated to come inside and play. Our inference is that this is not so anymore.

Many of the major casinos today are colossal complexes ... you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there's no longer a reason to put the 'loose' slot machine games close-by any entrances.

Yet another classic rule is that loose slot games are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be influenced 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 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 machine games.
