Volumes have been set forth on this subject, and the bickering and face-offs about where the "hot" one armed bandits are placed in a casino are still rampant - over 60 yrs after slot machine games were first installed in the casinos.

The quintessential rule is that the more favourable slots were placed just inside the main door of the casino; so that persons going by would see actual jackpot winners ... be stimulated to come inside ... play. Our finding is that this is definitely no longer the case.

The majority of the mega casinos nowadays are titanic complexes ... it's no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the 'loose' slots close-by any entrances.

An additional standard rule is that loose slot machine games are installed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Notably however, 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 one armed bandits 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.
