Books have been stated on this subject, and the controversy and squabbling about where the "hot" slot machine games are positioned in the casino are still intense - 60 years after one armed bandits were first added to the gaming floor in the casinos.

The quintessential rule is that the very best one armed bandits were installed just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that persons walking by would be able to see jackpot winners and be tempted to come unto the gaming floor ... play. Our theorem is that this is definitely no longer the case.

The great majority of the large casinos today are super-colossal complexes and you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the 'loose' slots close to any doors.

An additional classic rule is that loose one armed bandits are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be roused to play. Importantly 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 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!

Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot machines.
