Volumes have been written on this matter, and the controversy and feuds about where the "hot" one armed bandits are installed in a casino are still passionate - more than 60 years after slots were 1st placed in casinos.

The classic rule is that the more favourable slot games were located just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that fun seekers walking by would be able to see actual jackpot winners and be intrigued enough to come inside and play. Our observation is that this is definitely no longer true.

Just about all of the big name casinos today are immense complexes ... it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there's no longer a reason to have the 'loose' slot games in close proximity to any doors.

Another classic rule is that loose slots are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be inspired 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 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 perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
