Volumes have been set forth on this matter, and the controversy and discourse about where the "hot" slot machines are positioned in the casino are still intense – 60 years after slot games were 1st installed in casinos.

The classic rule is that the very best slot machines were installed just inside the door of the casino; so that fun seekers walking by would be able to see actual jackpot winners and be impressed enough to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our position is that this is definitely no longer true.

The great majority of the major casinos nowadays are immense complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slot machine games near any doorways.

An additional standard rule is that loose slot games are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. Importantly though, 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 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 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!

In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
