Volumes have been stated on this topic, and the controversy and squabbling about where the "hot" video slots are positioned in a casino are still there – more than sixty yrs after slots were first installed in casinos.

The standard rule is that the better slot games were installed just inside the door of the casino; so that potential players walking by would see actual jackpot winners … be infatuated enough to come unto the gaming floor … play. Our theorem is that this is definitely no longer the case.

Just about all of the big name casinos presently are massive complexes … now you can’t see inside from the sidewalk, so there is no longer a reason to position the ‘loose’ one armed bandits in close proximity to any doorways.

Another traditional rule is that loose slot machine games are put on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more folks 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 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 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.
