Books have been set forth on this item, and the debates and arguments about where the "hot" slot machine games are positioned in the casino are still bubbling – 60 years after one armed bandits were 1st placed in gambling dens.

The traditional rule is that the most favorable slots were put just inside the main entry of the casino; so that people going by would see jackpot winners and be inspired to come inside and play. Our conclusion is that this is definitely no longer the case.

The great majority of the big name casinos these days are grand complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ one armed bandits close to any entrances or exits.

Another classic rule is that loose one armed bandits are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. Notably though, 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 slots 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slots.
