Books have been written on this issue, and the disquiet and arguments about where the "hot" slots are placed in the casino are still raging – sixty yrs after the slots were 1st placed in gambling houses.

The classic rule is that the better slot machine games were installed just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that persons walking by would see actual jackpot winners … be possessed to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our sneaking suspicion is that this is no longer true.

Just about all of the mega casinos today are magnificent complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ one armed bandits close to any doorways.

Yet another standard rule is that loose slots are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be motivated to play. Notably however, 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 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!

Today, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
