Coin insertion slot is installed keeping in mind the "ease of inserting coins".
Even so, it seems that it is not known clearly which one is easier to put in portrait or landscape. In the vending machine, there are two parts, the part of the cut that puts in the coin, the input port is "portrait" and "sideways". Coin insertion slot is installed keeping in mind the "ease of inserting coins". However, it seems that it is not known clearly which side is easier to put in vertical and horizontal. Therefore, there are both "portrait" and "landscape". Currently, drinks and cigarette vending machines are "sideways", and vending machines and ticket vending machines of tickets are "vertical oriented" mainstream. As a result of the judgment, the ticket comes out as soon as it is understood that the coin is genuine. In the case of a ticket vending machine, there are many cases where a queue can be formed. Therefore, after putting coins, speed is required to shorten the time to reach this identifying machine as much as possible.
When the slot is "portrait", the coin rolls easily, so it reaches the identification machine as soon as possible and the ticket comes out earlier accordingly. However, if the slot is portrait oriented, "machines that identify and store coins" are large, and further depth is required. On the other hand, in the case of drinks and vending machines for cigarettes, there is little that a queue can be formed. Because speed like a ticket vending machine is not required, since "machines that identify and store coins" can be small, the storage space for products can be enlarged accordingly. Or you can make the size of the vending machine itself slimmer.
