Volumes have been stated on this item, and the conflict and disagreement about where the "hot" slots are installed in the casino are still rampant – over sixty yrs after slot games were 1st installed in gambling dens.

The standard rule is that the very best slots were located just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that fun seekers going by would be able to see jackpot winners and be intrigued enough to come into the casino and play. Our belief is that this is definitely no longer true.

The great majority of the major casinos these days are magnificent complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ one armed bandits near to any doorways.

An additional standard rule is that loose slot machine games are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Interestingly though, 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 the 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 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.
