Books have been said on this topic, and the debates and arguments about where the "hot" slots are located in a casino are still rampant - over sixty yrs after one armed bandits were 1st placed in gambling houses.

The quintessential rule is that the better slot games were placed just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that people walking by would be able to see jackpot winners and be possessed to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our verdict is that this is definitely no longer true.

Nearly all of the mega casinos presently are massive complexes and now you can't see inside from the sidewalk, so there's no longer a reason to position the 'loose' slot games near to any entrances or exits.

Yet another standard rule is that loose one armed bandits are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. 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 machine 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!

In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
