Volumes have been set forth on this issue, and the controversy and squabbling about where the "hot" slot games are located in the casino are still happening – more than sixty years after slot games were first installed in casinos.
The traditional rule is that the better slot machine games were positioned just inside the main entryway of the casino; so that fun seekers walking by would see jackpot winners … be convinced to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our inference is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Most of the big name casinos nowadays are magnificent complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot games near any exits.
Another traditional rule is that loose one armed bandits are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more people could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. Nonetheless, 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 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!
In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
