Books have been stated on this item, and the contention and squabbling about where the "hot" slot machines are placed in the casino are still on-going – over sixty years after slots were first installed in casinos.

The standard rule is that the better slot games were located just inside the main entry of the casino; so that potential gamblers walking by would see real jackpot winners and be tempted to come inside and play. Our belief is that this is no longer the case.

Many of the mega casinos nowadays are super-colossal complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot machines close to any entrances or exits.

Yet another classic rule is that loose slot machine games are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Notably however, we find that this also isn’t 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 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!

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