Volumes have been written on this topic, and the disquiet and discourse about where the "hot" slot games are located in the casino are still raging – more than 60 years after slot games were 1st installed in casinos.

The classic rule is that the most favorable one armed bandits were placed just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that persons walking by would see jackpot winners … be impressed enough to come inside and play. Our resolve is that this is no longer true.

Many of the large casinos today are immense complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ one armed bandits near any exits.

Another classic rule is that loose slot machines are positioned on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Notably however, 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 machine 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!

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