Volumes have been stated on this subject, and the debates and disharmony about where the "hot" one armed bandits are located in the casino are still intense - more than 60 years after the slot machines were 1st added to the gaming floor in the casinos.

The standard rule is that the better slot machine games were placed just inside the main entry of the casino; so that potential gamblers walking by would see jackpot winners and be keen enough to come into the casino ... play. Our attitude is that this is no longer true.

Just about all of the big name casinos these days are jumbo complexes ... you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the 'loose' slots close to any of the doors.

Yet another standard rule is that loose slot games are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Importantly however, 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 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 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 slot machines.
