Books have been set forth on this topic, and the conflict and disharmony about where the "hot" slot machine games are located in a casino are still ongoing - over sixty years after the slots were first placed in gambling houses.

The traditional rule is that the very best one armed bandits were located just inside the main door of the casino; so that everyone going by would be able to see actual jackpot winners and be intrigued enough to come inside ... play. Our presumption is that this is no longer the case.

Almost all of the large casinos nowadays are mammoth complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the 'loose' slot machine games near to any doorways.

Another classic rule is that loose one armed bandits are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more potential players could see winning jackpots and be galvanized to play. However, 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 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!

Today, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose slot games.
