Volumes have been written on this subject, and the debates and disharmony about where the "hot" slot machines are installed in the casino are still raging - over sixty years after the slots were 1st placed in the casinos.

The traditional rule is that the superior slots were located just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that people going by would see real jackpot winners ... be infatuated enough to come unto the gambling floor ... play. Our finding is that this is definitely no longer the case.

Many of the large casinos presently are humongous complexes and you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the 'loose' slot machines near to any of the doors.

Yet another traditional rule is that loose slot machine games are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. Notably however, we find that this also is not 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!

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