Volumes have been set forth on this item, and the bickering and ruckus about where the "hot" slots are located in the casino are still there – more than 60 years after slot machines were 1st added to the gaming floor in casinos.

The standard rule is that the very best slots were located just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that fun seekers passing by would be able to see actual jackpot winners and be stimulated to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our slant is that this is no longer the case.

Almost all of the large casinos these days are massive complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot machine games near to any exits.

An additional classic rule is that loose slots are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Nonetheless, 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 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!

Today, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot games.
