Volumes have been set forth on this topic, and the contention and face-offs about where the "hot" video slots are placed in a casino are still raging – over sixty years after slots were 1st added to the gaming floor in the casinos.

The traditional rule is that the best slot machines were positioned just inside the entry of the casino; so that potential gamblers going by would see actual jackpot winners … be possessed to come inside and play. Our reckoning is that this is definitely no longer the case.

Nearly all of the big name casinos nowadays are colossal complexes … you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slot machines near to any exits.

Another traditional rule is that loose slot games are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Interestingly though, 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 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 perspective about where to place the loose slots.
