Volumes have been said on this issue, and the contention and discussion about where the "hot" slot machines are positioned in the casino are still ongoing - more than 60 years after slot machine games were 1st placed in gambling houses.

The standard rule is that the very best slot machine games were installed just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that fun seekers walking by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be enticed to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our presumption is that this is definitely no longer the case.

Almost all of the mega casinos today are giant complexes ... you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there's no longer a reason to situate the 'loose' slot machine games close-by any entrances.

Another standard rule is that loose slot machine games are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Importantly though, we find that this also is no longer a universal rule.

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 one armed bandits 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!

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