Books have been stated on this matter, and the disquiet and discussion about where the "hot" slot machine games are installed in a casino are still passionate - more than 60 years after slot games were 1st placed in casinos.

The classic rule is that the more favourable slots were located just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that everyone passing by would be able to see jackpot winners and be captivated to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our theory is that this is no longer the case.

Most of the large casinos presently are behemothic complexes ... it's no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the 'loose' slot machine games in close proximity to any doors.

An additional standard rule is that loose one armed bandits are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Notably however, 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!

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