Considerations for
Selecting Casino Slots
Selecting a slot
machine to play in a land-based casino should be
more than just walking up to any slot machine and
giving it a go. Aside from the more obvious
factors of selecting a machine, such as the betting
stakes, type of machine (progressive, straight,
video slot) and payout schedule, players should
adopt a certain sense to help them seek out the best
paying (loosest) slot machines.
Contrary to what some
slot machine advocates say, it is not a well-known
practice for casinos to hide their loosest slot
machines out of the reach from players. On the
contrary, it only makes sense that casinos would
want these machines to be played in the open, so
that other gamblers would see them being won, and
consequently be inspired to play for their self.
This does not mean that
you will always find the loosest slot machine near
the cashier line. Nor does it mean that you
will not find two loose slot machines sitting
directly next to each other. Remember, there
is no definitive formula for repeated success in the
gambling world (unless you are the casino).
However, many players swear by the notion that loose
slot machines are located in high traffic areas of a
casino, while tight machines are located in areas
where typical non-slot players gather.
There is also the
belief that looser machines are spread out as close
as every fourth machine, and as far apart as every
twelfth machine. We do not recommend any
player to adapt their whole playing strategy to this
idea. However, if you already have the
intentions of playing a particular machine, and
witness a big jackpot or a loose machine in that
particular bank, it is not going to hurt to pick an
open machine that is at least four spots down from
the loose machine.
Do not become enslaved
by unproven notions or myths. But at the same
time, try to use the pool of knowledge (and belief)
in a way that is not going to hurt, but rather,
could only end up helping in the grand scheme of
things.
