Volumes have been written on this subject, and the debates and discourse about where the "hot" one armed bandits are positioned in the casino are still taking place – 60 years after the slots were 1st installed in gambling dens.

The standard rule is that the most favorable one armed bandits were located just inside the entry of the casino; so that casino fanatics passing by would see jackpot winners … be mesmerized enough to come inside and play. Our assurance is that this is definitely no longer the case.

Many of the big name casinos these days are grand complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ slot games near to any exits.

An additional standard rule is that loose slot machines are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. Importantly though, 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 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.
