Volumes have been stated on this issue, and the conflict and interchanges about where the "hot" slot machine games are located in the casino are still ongoing – over 60 years after the slot machines were 1st added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.

The classic rule is that the best slot games were installed just inside the door of the casino; so that everyone passing by would be able to see jackpot winners and be possessed to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our standpoint is that this is no longer the case.

The majority of the mega casinos nowadays are massive complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ one armed bandits near any of the doors.

Yet another standard rule is that loose slot games are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Nonetheless, 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 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!

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