Books have been set forth on this issue, and the conflict and face-offs about where the "hot" slot machine games are located in the casino are still there - more than 60 yrs after slot machines were first added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.

The standard rule is that the most favorable slot machines were placed just inside the entry of the casino; so that fun seekers passing by would see jackpot winners and be impressed enough to come inside and play. Our observation is that this is definitely no longer so.

Practically all of the large casinos presently are behemothic complexes and you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there's no longer a reason to position the 'loose' one armed bandits close-by any doors.

An additional classic rule is that loose slots are put on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Nonetheless, we find that this also is not 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 slot machines 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!

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