Volumes have been written on this issue, and the controversy and ruckus about where the "hot" one armed bandits are placed in a casino are still passionate - over sixty years after slot machine games were first placed in gambling houses.

The classic rule is that the most favorable slots were positioned just inside the main entrance of the casino; so that individuals passing by would see actual jackpot winners ... be mesmerized enough to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our point of view is that this is definitely no longer the case.

The majority of the major casinos nowadays are oversized complexes ... it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the 'loose' slot machine games in close proximity to any entrances.

Yet another traditional rule is that loose slot machines are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. Notably 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 slot 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 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!

In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
