Volumes have been said on this item, and the disquiet and discussion about where the "hot" slot games are placed in a casino are still happening - more than 60 years after slot games were first installed in the casinos.

The classic rule is that the best one armed bandits were positioned just inside the door of the casino; so that individuals walking by would see jackpot winners ... be possessed to come inside and play. Our finding is that this is definitely no longer so.

The great majority of the large casinos nowadays are titanic complexes ... it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there's no longer a reason to situate the 'loose' slot games close to any entrances.

Yet another standard rule is that loose slots are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be influenced 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 one armed bandits 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 slot games.
