Books have been written on this item, and the debates and face-offs about where the "hot" slot machines are positioned in the casino are still happening - more than sixty yrs after slot machines were first added to the gaming floor in the casinos.

The classic rule is that the better slot machines were positioned just inside the door of the casino; so that potential players going by would see real jackpot winners and be tempted to come into the casino ... play. Our presumption is that this is definitely no longer true.

Almost all of the big name casinos today are grand complexes ... it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the 'loose' one armed bandits in close proximity to any entrances or exits.

Another classic rule is that loose one armed bandits are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Notably though, we find that this also isn't 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 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 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!

These days, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
