Volumes have been set forth on this subject, and the controversy and discussion about where the "hot" slot machines are placed in a casino are still there – more than sixty yrs after one armed bandits were 1st installed in the casinos.

The traditional rule is that the most favorable slot machine games were located just inside the door of the casino; so that individuals walking by would see actual jackpot winners … be aroused to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our theorem is that this is not so anymore.

Practically all of the large casinos presently are super-colossal complexes and you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ one armed bandits close-by any exits.

Another standard rule is that loose one armed bandits are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. Nonetheless, 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 the slot machines 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!

Today, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot games.
