Books have been written on this issue, and the contention and discord about where the "hot" slot machines are positioned in a casino are still on-going - 60 years after slot games were 1st added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.

The standard rule is that the superior slot games were located just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that everyone going by would be able to see real jackpot winners ... be keen enough to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our assurance is that this is not so anymore.

Nearly all of the major casinos nowadays are herculean complexes ... it's no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there's no longer a reason to put the 'loose' slot games near to any entrances.

An additional standard rule is that loose slot machine games are placed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be influenced to play. Interestingly 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 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.
