Volumes have been stated on this matter, and the controversy and squabbling about where the "hot" slot games are placed in the casino are still passionate – sixty years after the slots were first installed in the casinos.

The traditional rule is that the very best slot games were positioned just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that folks passing by would see real jackpot winners and be impressed enough to come into the casino and play. Our assurance is that this is definitely no longer the case.

The great majority of the big name casinos nowadays are immense complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ one armed bandits near to any doorways.

Another standard rule is that loose slot machine games are put on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be influenced 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!

These days, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
