Volumes have been set forth on this item, and the controversy and squabbling about where the "hot" one armed bandits are placed in the casino are still on-going – more than sixty yrs after the slots were 1st placed in gambling houses.
The traditional rule is that the more favourable slot games were placed just inside the entry of the casino; so that everyone going by would see real jackpot winners and be tempted to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our leaning is that this is no longer the case.
Most of the mega casinos these days are monstrous complexes and you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to have the ‘loose’ slot machines near to any entrances or exits.
Yet another traditional rule is that loose slots are placed on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Importantly however, 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 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 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 slot machines.
