Volumes have been set forth on this subject, and the controversy and ruckus about where the "hot" video slots are installed in the casino are still ongoing – sixty years after slots were 1st placed in casinos.

The traditional rule is that the more favourable slots were installed just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that potential gamblers passing by would see real jackpot winners … be attracted to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our presumption is that this is no longer true.

Most of the major casinos today are behemothic complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot machine games near any entrances.

Yet another standard rule is that loose one armed bandits are put on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Interestingly though, 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 slot machine games.
