Books have been said on this issue, and the disquiet and disagreement about where the "hot" slot machine games are installed in the casino are still bubbling – over sixty yrs after slot machine games were first added to the gaming floor in casinos.

The classic rule is that the best one armed bandits were positioned just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that people going by would be able to see real jackpot winners … be possessed to come inside and play. Our assessment is that this is no longer true.

Practically all of the large casinos today are colossal complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ one armed bandits near to any of the doors.

Yet another traditional rule is that loose slots are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be encouraged to play. Notably 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 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 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 one armed bandits.
