Volumes have been set forth on this subject, and the controversy and ruckus about where the "hot" slot machine games are positioned in a casino are still there – over sixty years after slot machine games were first installed in gambling houses.

The quintessential rule is that the better one armed bandits were put just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that individuals walking by would see jackpot winners … be possessed to come inside and play. Our verdict is that this is no longer true.

Many of the large casinos today are herculean complexes … it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot games in close proximity to any of the doors.

Yet another standard rule is that loose slot games are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more folks could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Notably however, 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 slot machine games 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!

Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slots.
