Books have been written on this topic, and the contention and discourse about where the "hot" slot games are located in a casino are still bubbling – more than 60 years after slot machines were first placed in gambling houses.
The quintessential rule is that the superior slot machine games were put just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that fun seekers going by would be able to see real jackpot winners … be possessed to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our slant is that this is no longer true.
The majority of the big name casinos presently are oversized complexes and you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot games close-by any doors.
Yet another classic rule is that loose slot games are put 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 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!
Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot machines.
