Volumes have been written on this item, and the debates and squabbling about where the "hot" slots are located in the casino are still happening - over sixty yrs after one armed bandits were 1st placed in the casinos.

The classic rule is that the most favorable slot games were installed just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that potential players passing by would see actual jackpot winners and be stirred to come into the casino ... play. Our estimation is that this is no longer the case.

Just about all of the large casinos presently are magnificent complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the 'loose' slot games in close proximity to any of the doors.

Another traditional rule is that loose slots are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be energized 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 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 machines.
