Books have been stated on this topic, and the conflict and discourse about where the "hot" slots are located in a casino are still happening – sixty yrs after slot games were 1st placed in casinos.

The standard rule is that the most favorable slots were installed just inside the main door of the casino; so that casino fanatics walking by would see jackpot winners … be drawn to come inside and play. Our conviction is that this is definitely no longer true.

Most of the large casinos nowadays are huge complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot machines near to any doors.

Another traditional rule is that loose slot machine games are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Interestingly though, 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!

Today, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot machines.
