Volumes have been set forth on this matter, and the debates and disharmony about where the "hot" slot machines are installed in the casino are still happening – 60 yrs after the slots were 1st placed in gambling dens.

The quintessential rule is that the more favourable one armed bandits were located just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that fun seekers going by would be able to see jackpot winners and be smitten to come unto the gambling floor and play. Our assurance is that this is definitely no longer so.

Most of the mega casinos presently are enormous complexes … it is not possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot machine games close to any exits.

An additional standard rule is that loose slots are placed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more folks 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 slots 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 machine games.
