Volumes have been set forth on this topic, and the contention and discord about where the "hot" one armed bandits are located in the casino are still happening – more than sixty yrs after slot machines were 1st placed in casinos.

The quintessential rule is that the more favourable slot machine games were installed just inside the entry of the casino; so that fun seekers walking by would see actual jackpot winners and be enthralled to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our belief is that this is definitely no longer true.

The great majority of the mega casinos these days are giant complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot machines in close proximity to any doors.

An additional traditional rule is that loose slot games are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Importantly 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 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 perspective about where to place the loose slots.
