Know the Best Places to Find Tight Slot Machines
Much have been said and written about where to find loose slot machines. If these generous machines do exist, then tight machines which don't pay well are for real. And if you are a slots beginner, it may serve you well to know the places where these stingy slots can typically be found so that you could make a better, more informed decision the next time you feel the urge to play these machines out of boredom.
The slot machines in the area near casino table games and sportsbook are generally tight because table game players and bettors on race horses and sporting events hate to be distracted by the clanking of coins dropping on slot trays and the noise and commotion created by winning slots. Moreover, the casino does not want to lure away these table game players and sports bettors from where they are already spending money. Table game players on their way out of the table gaming area often drop spare change in nearby slot machines. Since these casino patrons are not your regular slots enthusiasts, when they win, they have the tendency to just walk away instead of lingering a while and give the slot machine the chance to take back their winnings.
Equally stingy are slots near hotel lounging and waiting areas such as the front desk, restaurant, live show booths and concert rooms where the captive audience queuing up can easily be lured to take a quick roll or two. Tight machines are also frequently found squeezed back near the aisles, at the edges, deep corners and similar areas of the casino layout that are not highly visible and where people are forced to go during a crowded night.
Not to be left out in the list of tight machines are progressive slots, Big Bertha and other novelty games that people will invariably play just for the experience and the fun of seeing the giant reels spin. The tightness or looseness of slot machines is usually dictated by the presence or absence of competition. And when people have nowhere to go, they are essentially a captive market. Such is the case in riverboat and Indian Gaming casinos, where you can expect tight slots as surely as the sun will rise tomorrow.
But the stingiest of the tight slot machines can be found in non-casino venues such as gas stations, supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants and airports. These business establishments do not care much about attracting slot players because gaming is not their primary line of business and they know that their customers will play regardless of the returns simply because the machines are there. Now that you know where tight slot machines are located, by the simple process of elimination, finding loose slot machines would not be an impossible task.
