Books have been stated on this item, and the conflict and disharmony about where the "hot" slot games are placed in a casino are still raging – over sixty years after slot games were 1st installed in casinos.

The classic rule is that the more favourable slots were placed just inside the entrance of the casino; so that fun seekers going by would be able to see real jackpot winners … be smitten to come into the casino … play. Our persuasion is that this is no longer true.

Many of the large casinos nowadays are giant complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slots close-by any doors.

Another standard rule is that loose slot machines are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Notably however, 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 slot machine 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 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!
