Books have been written on this item, and the controversy and disharmony about where the "hot" slots are located in a casino are still rampant – more than sixty years after one armed bandits were 1st installed in gambling houses.

The classic rule is that the very best slot machine games were put just inside the main door of the casino; so that folks going by would see real jackpot winners and be convinced to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our view is that this is no longer the case.

Almost all of the big name casinos nowadays are monstrous complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slots near any entrances.

An additional standard rule is that loose slots are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Importantly however, 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 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 machines.
