Volumes have been set forth on this issue, and the conflict and discussion about where the "hot" video slots are installed in the casino are still intense – over sixty yrs after slot machine games were 1st placed in gambling dens.

The classic rule is that the most favorable slot machines were put just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that potential players passing by would see jackpot winners and be baited to come inside and play. Our frame of mind is that this is definitely no longer true.

Most of the large casinos presently are colossal complexes … it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot games close-by any doorways.

Another traditional rule is that loose slot games are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Importantly 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 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!
