Books have been set forth on this subject, and the controversy and ruckus about where the "hot" slots are located in a casino are still on-going – over 60 years after slot games were first placed in the casinos.

The standard rule is that the very best one armed bandits were located just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that everyone passing by would see real jackpot winners and be convinced to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our determination is that this is not so anymore.

Almost all of the big name casinos today are enormous complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slots in close proximity to any entrances or exits.

Another traditional rule is that loose slots are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be motivated 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 slot machine 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!

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