Books have been stated on this subject, and the contention and face-offs about where the "hot" slots are located in a casino are still intense - sixty yrs after the slots were 1st added to the gaming floor in the casinos.

The traditional rule is that the most favorable slots were positioned just inside the main entry of the casino; so that fun seekers going by would be able to see jackpot winners and be influenced to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our theorem is that this is definitely no longer so.

The majority of the major casinos today are colossal complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the 'loose' slot machines in close proximity to any doors.

Yet another standard rule is that loose one armed bandits are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Interestingly though, we find that this also is no longer a universal rule.

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 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slot games.
