Volumes have been written on this issue, and the debates and ruckus about where the "hot" slot machine games are placed in the casino are still ongoing – sixty yrs after slot machine games were first installed in gambling dens.

The traditional rule is that the better slot machines were located just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that persons going by would see jackpot winners … be mesmerized enough to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our assurance is that this is definitely no longer so.

Most of the large casinos nowadays are oversized complexes … it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ one armed bandits near any entrances or exits.

Another standard rule is that loose one armed bandits are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. 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 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!

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