Volumes have been written on this matter, and the debates and arguments about where the "hot" slot games are positioned in a casino are still there – over 60 years after slot machine games were first placed in gambling dens.

The standard rule is that the very best one armed bandits were positioned just inside the entry of the casino; so that fun seekers going by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be infatuated enough to come inside and play. Our thought is that this is definitely no longer the case.

Most of the large casinos today are monstrous complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slots near to any exits.

Yet another traditional rule is that loose slot machines are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be encouraged 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!

In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot machine games.
