Volumes have been written on this issue, and the conflict and feuds about where the "hot" slot games are positioned in the casino are still on-going – over 60 years after slot machine games were 1st placed in casinos.

The traditional rule is that the better one armed bandits were located just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that individuals passing by would see actual jackpot winners … be impressed enough to come inside … play. Our philosophy is that this is definitely no longer true.

The majority of the mega casinos nowadays are oversized complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot machines close-by any entrances.

Another traditional rule is that loose slots are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Importantly 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 machine 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!

In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machines.
