Books have been written on this matter, and the debates and arguments about where the "hot" slot games are positioned in the casino are still happening – 60 yrs after slot games were 1st added to the gaming floor in casinos.

The quintessential rule is that the more favourable slots were installed just inside the main entry of the casino; so that potential players going by would be able to see actual jackpot winners and be mesmerized enough to come into the casino … play. Our assessment is that this is no longer true.

Just about all of the major casinos nowadays are enormous complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ slot games close-by any entrances.

An additional classic rule is that loose one armed bandits are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more fun seekers 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 the slot machines 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!

These days, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
