Books have been set forth on this matter, and the conflict and discussion about where the "hot" slot machine games are located in a casino are still there - over 60 yrs after slot machine games were first added to the gaming floor in the casinos.

The traditional rule is that the more favourable slot games were positioned just inside the entry of the casino; so that people walking by would be able to see real jackpot winners ... be stirred to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our reasoning is that this is definitely no longer so.

Nearly all of the mega casinos these days are huge complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the 'loose' one armed bandits near to any exits.

Yet another traditional rule is that loose slots are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Notably 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 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!

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