Volumes have been stated on this subject, and the controversy and interchanges about where the "hot" one armed bandits are located in the casino are still taking place – over sixty yrs after the slot machines were first added to the gaming floor in the casinos.

The classic rule is that the more favourable slots were located just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that fun seekers passing by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be titillated to come inside and play. Our determination is that this is definitely no longer so.

Almost all of the mega casinos these days are massive complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot machines near to any doors.

Yet another traditional rule is that loose slot machine games are put on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be inspired 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 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!

Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot games.
