Books have been said on this topic, and the controversy and feuds about where the "hot" video slots are installed in a casino are still raging - over 60 yrs after the slots were first installed in the casinos.

The classic rule is that the more favourable slot games were put just inside the main door of the casino; so that folks walking by would see actual jackpot winners and be convinced to come unto the gaming floor ... play. Our conclusion is that this is definitely no longer so.

The majority of the big name casinos presently are super-colossal complexes and now you can't see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the 'loose' slot machines close-by any doorways.

Yet another traditional rule is that loose slot games are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Interestingly though, 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 one armed bandits 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!

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