Volumes have been written on this item, and the controversy and squabbling about where the "hot" one armed bandits are installed in the casino are still intense - 60 yrs after slot machine games were 1st added to the gaming floor in the casinos.

The standard rule is that the better slot games were installed just inside the main door of the casino; so that casino fanatics passing by would be able to see real jackpot winners ... be impressed enough to come unto the gaming floor ... play. Our resolve is that this is no longer true.

Nearly all of the major casinos presently are humongous complexes and now you can't see inside from the sidewalk, so there's no longer a reason to situate the 'loose' slots in close proximity to any exits.

An additional standard rule is that loose slot games are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. 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 the 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!

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