Volumes have been stated on this subject, and the debates and disagreement about where the "hot" slot games are located in a casino are still happening - more than 60 years after slot games were 1st placed in casinos.

The quintessential rule is that the more favourable slots were located just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that persons going by would see actual jackpot winners and be stimulated to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our speculation is that this is not so anymore.

Practically all of the major casinos presently are giant complexes ... you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the 'loose' slots close-by any doorways.

Another standard rule is that loose slot games are put on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Nonetheless, 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 slot games 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!

These days, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot games.
