Volumes have been set forth on this matter, and the debates and discord about where the "hot" one armed bandits are located in a casino are still happening – sixty years after slot games were 1st installed in casinos.
The quintessential rule is that the best slot machines were put just inside the main entry of the casino; so that everyone passing by would be able to see jackpot winners … be infatuated enough to come inside … play. Our determination is that this is definitely no longer so.
The majority of the mega casinos these days are gigantic complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot games close-by any entrances or exits.
Yet another standard rule is that loose slot games are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. Importantly though, 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 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 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!
Today, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machine games.
