Books have been stated on this topic, and the disquiet and disagreement about where the "hot" slots are positioned in the casino are still raging - over sixty yrs after slot games were first installed in gambling dens.

The traditional rule is that the very best slot machines were installed just inside the door of the casino; so that casino fanatics passing by would be able to see real jackpot winners ... be infatuated enough to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our leaning is that this is definitely no longer true.

Just about all of the major casinos today are huge complexes ... you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there's no longer a reason to have the 'loose' slot machines close-by any exits.

Another standard rule is that loose one armed bandits are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be galvanized 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 the 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 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 slots.
