Volumes have been stated on this item, and the disquiet and arguments about where the "hot" one armed bandits are placed in a casino are still bubbling – more than 60 yrs after slot games were 1st placed in gambling houses.

The traditional rule is that the very best slot machine games were located just inside the door of the casino; so that persons going by would see real jackpot winners … be intrigued enough to come inside … play. Our point of view is that this is definitely no longer true.

Most of the mega casinos presently are grand complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slots in close proximity to any exits.

An additional standard rule is that loose slot machines are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Notably though, we find that this also isn’t 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 slot machines 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!

These days, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot machines.
