Everyone would much rather play loose slots if asked to pick; unfortunately, casinos don’t give us that choice. Were they to tell us where to find them, they wouldn’t makes as good a revenue, not to mention that most of the other slot machines would be out of business. Luckily, finding loose slots isn’t all that difficult.

Because loose slots exist to attract more slots players, the casino has a special slot placement strategy to get the most out of them. Since the number of wins on a loose slot machine is more frequent, the online casino want as many witnesses as possible. You could consider it as another way of advertising, but one that we can use to our advantage as slot players. Below is a list of the top places where loose slots can be found. Check them out!

Near the change booths - casinos want other players who are waiting in line to receive change to hear the unmistakable sounds and sights of players hitting mid-level and top jackpots. This will, supposedly, motivate other players to get more change and play more machines.

On elevated carousels - high payoff machines that are visible from nearly any angle from the gaming floor also serve to motivate other players to put more money into their chosen machines.

Near the coffee shop/cafe/snack bar - casinos frequently place their best machines in these locations to motivate players to eat quickly and get back to the gaming floor as soon as possible. When a player takes a “time out” for food or drinks it’s time spent not playing the machines. No play means no revenue for the casino.

Slots aisles known as “crosswalks” - crosswalks are areas that players must walk through to get to other slot aisles. Again, the same principle applies: the casinos want slot players to witness frequent jackpot (mid-level or top) payouts. People passing by using these carefully planned pathways are more likely to be drawn into the main slot aisles, where the mid-range and tight machines are waiting to fleece them.
Locations highly visible from other slot aisles - same philosophy, same reasons as cited above.

Round or rectangular, free-standing kiosks within the main casino - nearly all casinos sublet space to the manufacturers of slot machines (Bally’s is a prime example). These free-standing kiosks are not strictly bound by the individual casino’s marketing principles, and may have a larger percentage of loose machines.

There is no guarantee that every machine in these locations is ‘loose’, but you definitely increase your chances of finding loose online slots by searching these areas first. The best thing you can do is to observe what’s going on around you and how the different machines are paying out. If you see one that seems pretty loose, give it a spin. It may just be the one.

Now that you know how to go about finding loose slots, have a read on how to avoid tight slots. The two topics go hand-in-hand and knowing both sides of the coin can only add to your advantage. Afterall, knowledge is power.
