Volumes have been set forth on this subject, and the debates and feuds about where the "hot" video slots are placed in a casino are still on-going – over sixty yrs after slot games were 1st installed in gambling dens.

The standard rule is that the most favorable slot games were positioned just inside the main door of the casino; so that people passing by would be able to see real jackpot winners … be stirred to come unto the gambling floor … play. Our stance is that this is definitely no longer true.

Many of the mega casinos these days are titanic complexes and now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ one armed bandits close to any doors.

An additional standard rule is that loose slot machine games are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. 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 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!

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