Books have been stated on this matter, and the conflict and discourse about where the "hot" slot machine games are installed in the casino are still passionate – over sixty yrs after slot machines were first placed in the casinos.
The quintessential rule is that the most favorable slot games were installed just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that people going by would see actual jackpot winners and be enticed to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our position is that this is no longer true.
The majority of the mega casinos presently are oversized complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot machines close to any doors.
An additional classic rule is that loose slot games are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Notably however, we find that this also is not 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 one armed bandits 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 perspective about where to place the loose slots.
