Volumes have been set forth on this matter, and the conflict and disagreement about where the "hot" one armed bandits are positioned in the casino are still on-going – more than 60 years after the slots were 1st placed in casinos.

The quintessential rule is that the very best slot machines were put just inside the entry of the casino; so that persons walking by would see jackpot winners … be baited to come into the casino … play. Our estimation is that this is not so anymore.

Most of the mega casinos presently are colossal 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 machines near to any exits.

Yet another standard rule is that loose slot games are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential players 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!

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