Books have been stated on this topic, and the controversy and squabbling about where the "hot" one armed bandits are positioned in a casino are still bubbling – over sixty years after the slot machines were 1st placed in gambling houses.

The classic rule is that the most favorable slot games were installed just inside the main door of the casino; so that persons walking by would see real jackpot winners and be drawn to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our deduction is that this is no longer true.

Many of the big name casinos nowadays are colossal complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ one armed bandits near to any entrances or exits.

Yet another standard rule is that loose slot machine games are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Interestingly though, 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 the 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!

Today, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot games.
