Books have been set forth on this subject, and the debates and squabbling about where the "hot" one armed bandits are located in a casino are still rampant - more than sixty years after slots were 1st installed in casinos.

The standard rule is that the better one armed bandits were installed just inside the main foyer of the casino; so that people going by would be able to see jackpot winners ... be stirred to come unto the gambling floor ... play. Our leaning is that this is definitely no longer the case.

The majority of the big name casinos nowadays are monstrous complexes ... you can no longer see inside from the sidewalk, so there's no longer a reason to situate the 'loose' slots in close proximity to any exits.

An additional classic rule is that loose one armed bandits are located on the major aisles in the casinos, again so that more persons could see winning jackpots and be energized to play. Notably though, 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 one armed bandits 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!

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