Books have been set forth on this matter, and the debates and interchanges about where the "hot" slot machine games are installed in a casino are still happening – over 60 yrs after the slots were first installed in casinos.

The traditional rule is that the better one armed bandits were put just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that persons walking by would see jackpot winners … be baited to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our reasoning is that this is definitely no longer so.

Nearly all of the major casinos today are behemothic complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot games in close proximity to any exits.

An additional classic rule is that loose slot machines are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. Nonetheless, 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 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 perspective about where to place the loose slot machines.
