Volumes have been said on this item, and the debates and arguments about where the "hot" video slots are installed in a casino are still bubbling – 60 yrs after slot games were 1st placed in gambling dens.

The traditional rule is that the best one armed bandits were put just inside the entry of the casino; so that individuals going by would see actual jackpot winners … be smitten to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our inclination is that this is no longer the case.

Many of the big name casinos nowadays are colossal complexes and you no longer can see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slot machine games close-by any entrances or exits.

Yet another traditional rule is that loose slot games are placed on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. 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 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!

Nowadays, casinos are constantly changing their philosophy about where to place the loose slot machines.
