Books have been set forth on this issue, and the debates and disharmony about where the "hot" video slots are installed in the casino are still there – more than 60 years after slots were 1st added to the gaming floor in gambling houses.

The classic rule is that the more favourable slot machine games were located just inside the main entry of the casino; so that people going by would see jackpot winners … be enthralled to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our inference is that this is definitely no longer true.

Nearly all of the large casinos today are humongous complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ slot machines near to any doorways.

An additional standard rule is that loose one armed bandits are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. However, we find that this also isn’t 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 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!

In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot machines.
