Loose Slots: Some Myths

For slot players, the main goal is to find a loose slot machine amongst the huge sea of available slot machines in casinos. Normally, it is a player's dream to locate a loose slot machine, but only few are lucky enough to achieve this dream.

A loose slot machine is one that is set to give back a higher percentage of money than other slot machines.

Fact or Myth?

Many players speculate that loose slot machines are associated with certain areas on the casino floor. There are myths regarding where to find, and how to find, loose slot machines.

Loose slot machines are also believed to be surrounded by tight slot machines.

Many players tend to play two, or more, slot machines at the same time. If a loose slot machine is being surrounded by a tight slot machine the player will give back all the winnings he or she got from the loose slot machine if they continuously play on both sides of the loose machine.

"Loose slot machines are normally placed near the entrance".

This myth is for one simple reason, to lure people to go inside the casino. If people from the outside saw that players in casino are winning they might think that everybody else are. Since many casinos have multiple entrances, this plays out as a weak theory.

"Slot Machines near the table games are normally tight".

Some believe that the noise coming from the player, and from the slot machines, can distract players playing at table games. Or they also think that after a player leaves the table game of poker, blackjack, or baccarat, players will insert coins immediately into the slot machine on their way out, or on the way to the cashier's cage.

"Slot Machines near the end of the row are usually the loose machines".

They say that other players can easily see players win the slot machine, thus, this will encourage them to go down into the row to play more slot machines.

"Slot Machines near the showroom and buffet are tight".

This myth refers to people believing that players waiting in line for shows and for the buffet are the ones who are likely to insert bills in the slot machines just to kill some time while waiting.

"Slot Machines near the casino cage are intended to be loose".

This myth would show that more people are winning close to the cage, and this can entice more players to play more slots.

"Round Carousals of slot machines are looser that rows of machines".

Carousals are seen in any direction, and they want people to see winning players to attract more players. This makes winners highly visible.
