Volumes have been said on this matter, and the conflict and arguments about where the "hot" slots are installed in a casino are still raging – over 60 yrs after slot games were 1st placed in gambling dens.
The standard rule is that the superior slot machines were put just inside the entrance of the casino; so that everyone going by would see actual jackpot winners and be mesmerized enough to come into the casino and play. Our reasoning is that this is not so anymore.
Just about all of the large casinos presently are immense complexes and you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot games near any of the doors.
Yet another traditional rule is that loose slot machine games are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Nonetheless, 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 slot 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 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 games.
