Volumes have been stated on this topic, and the conflict and squabbling about where the "hot" slot machine games are installed in the casino are still ongoing - more than 60 years after the slot machines were 1st placed in casinos.

The traditional rule is that the superior slot games were placed just inside the door of the casino; so that people going by would see jackpot winners ... be stimulated to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our speculation is that this is definitely no longer true.

Practically all of the big name casinos today are colossal complexes and now you can't see inside from the sidewalk, so there's no longer a reason to place the 'loose' slot machines close-by any entrances.

Another classic rule is that loose one armed bandits are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be energized 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 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!

Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot machine games.
