Books have been set forth on this matter, and the contention and disharmony about where the "hot" slot games are located in the casino are still rampant – sixty yrs after the slot machines were 1st placed in casinos.
The classic rule is that the very best one armed bandits were put just inside the main door of the casino; so that potential gamblers walking by would be able to see real jackpot winners and be smitten to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our persuasion is that this is no longer the case.
Just about all of the large casinos these days are colossal complexes and it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to place the ‘loose’ one armed bandits close-by any entrances or exits.
Another traditional rule is that loose one armed bandits are located on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more fun seekers could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Nonetheless, 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 the slot machines 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!
These days, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
