Volumes have been stated on this item, and the controversy and disagreement about where the "hot" slot machine games are located in a casino are still raging – 60 years after slot machine games were first placed in gambling houses.

The quintessential rule is that the better slot games were installed just inside the entry of the casino; so that potential players walking by would be able to see jackpot winners and be influenced to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our assurance is that this is no longer true.

Nearly all of the large casinos today are monstrous complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ one armed bandits close to any entrances.

Another standard rule is that loose one armed bandits are put on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Interestingly though, 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 slots 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 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.
