Volumes have been written on this matter, and the bickering and arguments about where the "hot" slot machine games are installed in a casino are still taking place - more than 60 years after one armed bandits were first added to the gaming floor in the casinos.

The classic rule is that the superior slot machines were placed just inside the entrance of the casino; so that everyone walking by would see real jackpot winners ... be attracted to come unto the gambling floor ... play. Our estimation is that this is definitely no longer so.

The great majority of the mega casinos nowadays are magnificent complexes ... now you can't see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the 'loose' slot games close-by any exits.

Another classic rule is that loose one armed bandits are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be roused 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slot machines.
