Books have been said on this topic, and the conflict and disharmony about where the "hot" one armed bandits are installed in the casino are still taking place – over 60 years after slots were 1st placed in the casinos.

The standard rule is that the most favorable slot games were positioned just inside the main door of the casino; so that fun seekers going by would see actual jackpot winners … be convinced to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our theory is that this is not so anymore.

The great majority of the mega casinos nowadays are super-colossal complexes … it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot machine games close to any exits.

An additional classic rule is that loose slot games are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Importantly however, 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 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 slot machine games.
