Volumes have been stated on this item, and the conflict and arguments about where the "hot" one armed bandits are installed in the casino are still happening - sixty yrs after the slot machines were 1st placed in the casinos.

The traditional rule is that the most favorable one armed bandits were put just inside the entry of the casino; so that casino fanatics walking by would be able to see real jackpot winners ... be captivated to come unto the gaming floor ... play. Our theory is that this is not so anymore.

Most of the major casinos these days are immense complexes and it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to put the 'loose' slot machine games close to any doorways.

Another traditional rule is that loose one armed bandits are installed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be roused 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 slot 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!

In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slots.
