Books have been set forth on this matter, and the disquiet and face-offs about where the "hot" slot machines are positioned in a casino are still there – sixty yrs after slot machines were 1st placed in casinos.

The classic rule is that the most favorable slot games were installed just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that individuals walking by would be able to see jackpot winners … be enthralled to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our verdict is that this is no longer the case.

Practically all of the big name casinos today are enormous complexes and it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot games close-by any entrances.

An additional traditional rule is that loose one armed bandits are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. Importantly 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 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 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!

Today, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot machine games.
