Books have been stated on this issue, and the conflict and disagreement about where the "hot" one armed bandits are located in the casino are still on-going - over sixty years after slots were first added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.

The traditional rule is that the better slot machines were positioned just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that persons going by would be able to see jackpot winners ... be stirred to come inside ... play. Our reckoning is that this is not so anymore.

Just about all of the mega casinos presently are gigantic complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there's no longer a reason to have the 'loose' slots close to any exits.

Yet another standard rule is that loose one armed bandits are put on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Notably 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 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!

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