Volumes have been stated on this item, and the bickering and feuds about where the "hot" one armed bandits are installed in a casino are still rampant – sixty years after slot games were first placed in casinos.

The standard rule is that the most favorable slots were installed just inside the entry of the casino; so that persons walking by would be able to see jackpot winners … be stirred to come inside and play. Our feeling is that this is no longer true.

The majority of the mega casinos these days are immense complexes and you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slots in close proximity to any doorways.

Yet another classic rule is that loose slot games are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Nonetheless, 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 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!

Today, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slots.
