Increase Your Chances of Finding Loose Slots

The slots floor abounds with many anecdotes and myths on how and where to find loose slots. Some say that these machines can be found in highly visible places like elevated carousels, and some believe that these are tucked away in corners and less-frequented areas in the casino. Other players charm, sweet talk or otherwise befriend casino attendants and regulars in the hope that they will point out to them some real hot slots. And, still others rely on gut feel or on the physical appearance and the way the machine emits its bells and whistles.

Many players go to great lengths to locate loose slots because it adds more fun and enjoyment to their game. But more importantly, they are sustained by the hope that if they get lucky enough to find it, they will go home a couple of thousand bucks richer at the very least. For the uninitiated, there is one surefire way to increase their chances of finding the casino's most elusive machine. And that is to play as many slots in the casino as possible because it is only by doing so that they will personally get a "feel" of the tightness or looseness of the slot machine.

Any slots player will tell you that "doing the rounds" and playing as many of the machines on the casino slots floor as your wallet will allow is a very expensive endeavor. But then, if you know how to properly manage your bankroll you can play with a lot more slot machines without breaking the bank. Optimal money management will get you off tight slots that will bleed you dry before you can even say "Eureka!" Before you enter the slots floor, you need to remember a few things first: Avoid progressives, novelty machines such as the Big Bertha and low denomination machines like nickel and penny slots because these tend to be tight. Choose instead a higher denomination that suits your budget.

Once you have selected your machine, play a few coins and observe. If it seems to give you a few small wins, perhaps you may want to stick to it for a while. But if it doesn't spit out a few coins, move on to the next machine adjoining yours and repeat the process. Remember the anecdote that a tight machine is always placed beside a loose slot machine?

Always use the lever instead of the spin button because it will somehow slow down your play. If you feel tired or hungry, stop playing and grab a bite to eat and have some rest to charge your batteries. If you are rested enough, play again. It is important that you should not play when you are tired or hungry because fatigue and hunger will invariably cloud your mind and affect your ability to make good playing decisions. Slowing down your play is a fool proof way to conserve your resources so that you will be able to spread your bankroll over as many slot machines as possible and increase your chances of finding the elusive loose slots.
