Volumes have been said on this subject, and the debates and feuds about where the "hot" slot machines are installed in the casino are still rampant - sixty yrs after slots were first placed in casinos.

The standard rule is that the very best slot machine games were put just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that everyone walking by would see real jackpot winners and be drawn to come inside ... play. Our theory is that this is not so anymore.

Many of the mega casinos nowadays are giant complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there's no longer a reason to situate the 'loose' one armed bandits near any doorways.

Another traditional rule is that loose slot machine games are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be motivated to play. Notably 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 slots 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!

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