Books have been stated on this item, and the conflict and face-offs about where the "hot" slot machine games are located in the casino are still taking place – more than 60 yrs after slots were 1st placed in casinos.

The quintessential rule is that the most favorable slots were positioned just inside the door of the casino; so that potential players going by would see jackpot winners … be possessed to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our frame of mind is that this is no longer the case.

Practically all of the mega casinos today are jumbo complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ one armed bandits near to any entrances or exits.

Another traditional rule is that loose slots are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Notably though, 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 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!

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