Volumes have been said on this matter, and the conflict and discord about where the "hot" slots are located in the casino are still intense - 60 years after slot games were 1st placed in gambling houses.

The quintessential rule is that the best slots were located just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that people going by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be inspired to come inside and play. Our theorem is that this is no longer the case.

Almost all of the big name casinos these days are behemothic complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there's no longer a reason to have the 'loose' one armed bandits close to any entrances.

Yet another classic rule is that loose slot machine games are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. However, 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 the slots 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!

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