Books have been stated on this item, and the contention and discussion about where the "hot" slot games are installed in a casino are still raging – more than sixty yrs after one armed bandits were first installed in casinos.
The standard rule is that the best one armed bandits were placed just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that fun seekers passing by would see real jackpot winners … be enthralled to come into the casino … play. Our resolve is that this is definitely no longer the case.
Many of the big name casinos nowadays are behemothic complexes and it’s no longer possible to see inside from the sidewalk, so there’s no longer a reason to put the ‘loose’ one armed bandits in close proximity to any doorways.
Another traditional rule is that loose slots are put on the major aisles inside the casinos, again so that more potential gamblers could see winning jackpots and be inspired to play. Nonetheless, 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 slot machine games 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 philosophy about where to place the loose slot games.
