Books have been said on this item, and the disquiet and disharmony about where the "hot" one armed bandits are placed in a casino are still passionate – over sixty years after one armed bandits were 1st placed in casinos.
The standard rule is that the very best slot games were installed just inside the main doorway of the casino; so that everyone passing by would be able to see actual jackpot winners and be infatuated enough to come unto the gaming floor and play. Our speculation is that this is definitely no longer so.
The majority of the major casinos presently are colossal complexes … you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to situate the ‘loose’ slots close to any exits.
Another traditional rule is that loose slot games are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be influenced 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!
In recent times, casinos are constantly changing their perspective about where to place the loose one armed bandits.
