Books have been said on this item, and the controversy and discord about where the "hot" one armed bandits are placed in a casino are still there – sixty yrs after slot games were 1st added to the gaming floor in gambling dens.

The standard rule is that the very best slots were located just inside the main entry of the casino; so that potential players going by would see jackpot winners … be baited to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our assurance is that this is not so anymore.

Practically all of the major casinos nowadays are titanic complexes … it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot machine games near to any entrances.

Yet another standard rule is that loose slots are positioned on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be influenced to play. Notably however, 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 one armed bandits 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!

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