Volumes have been said on this issue, and the debates and disharmony about where the "hot" slot machine games are installed in the casino are still happening – over sixty years after one armed bandits were 1st added to the gaming floor in casinos.

The classic rule is that the very best slot machines were placed just inside the main door of the casino; so that folks going by would see actual jackpot winners … be titillated to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our inference is that this is not so anymore.

Many of the big name casinos nowadays are behemothic complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot games close-by any doorways.

An additional standard rule is that loose one armed bandits are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be motivated to play. Nonetheless, 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 slot 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 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!

In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slots.
