Books have been said on this issue, and the debates and squabbling about where the "hot" slot machines are placed in the casino are still ongoing – more than sixty yrs after slot games were 1st placed in gambling dens.

The classic rule is that the better one armed bandits were positioned just inside the entry of the casino; so that folks going by would see real jackpot winners and be infatuated enough to come inside … play. Our presumption is that this is no longer true.

The great majority of the major casinos nowadays are titanic complexes and it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot games close to any entrances or exits.

Yet another traditional rule is that loose slot machine games are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more persons 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 slot 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 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!

Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slots.
