Volumes have been written on this item, and the contention and discussion about where the "hot" slot machine games are installed in the casino are still passionate - 60 years after slot machine games were first added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.

The standard rule is that the most favorable slot machines were placed just inside the door of the casino; so that fun seekers walking by would see actual jackpot winners ... be intrigued enough to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our inference is that this is definitely no longer so.

The majority of the major casinos these days are giant complexes ... it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the 'loose' slots in close proximity to any doorways.

Another traditional rule is that loose slot machines are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be motivated to play. Notably however, 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 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!

These days, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slots.
