Books have been written on this matter, and the conflict and interchanges about where the "hot" slot machines are installed in the casino are still raging – more than 60 years after the slots were first placed in gambling dens.

The traditional rule is that the better one armed bandits were put just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that folks walking by would be able to see real jackpot winners … be enthralled to come into the casino and play. Our inference is that this is not so anymore.

The majority of the big name casinos presently are oversized complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ one armed bandits close to any doors.

Another classic rule is that loose slot machine games are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Nonetheless, 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 slot games 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slots.
