Books have been set forth on this matter, and the contention and interchanges about where the "hot" slot machines are placed in a casino are still on-going – more than 60 yrs after the slots were first placed in casinos.

The traditional rule is that the very best slot machine games were located just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that individuals going by would be able to see real jackpot winners … be keen enough to come into the casino and play. Our assessment is that this is definitely no longer the case.

Nearly all of the big name casinos these days are titanic complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slot games near any entrances.

Another traditional rule is that loose one armed bandits are put on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Importantly however, 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 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 slot games.
