Books have been said on this matter, and the debates and arguments about where the "hot" slot games are located in the casino are still passionate - more than 60 yrs after one armed bandits were 1st placed in gambling dens.

The classic rule is that the most favorable slot machines were positioned just inside the main entry of the casino; so that potential players passing by would see real jackpot winners ... be inspired to come into the casino and play. Our viewpoint is that this is definitely no longer true.

Most of the large casinos these days are massive complexes ... you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there's no longer a reason to put the 'loose' slots in close proximity to any doors.

Yet another classic rule is that loose slot machine games are placed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Nonetheless, 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 the slot machines 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slot machine games.
