If
such-and-such casino describes their machines as
"loose," it can mean one of two things,
"more payouts" or "higher paybacks,"
and a slot machine's payback is not necessarily
related to the number of payouts. Confused, I thought
so.
As
for finding those "loose" ones, well,
that's no easy task. Slot managers place their
machines strategically to maximize customer appeal
and potential casino earnings. Unfortunately,
Karen, I can't give you a tried-and-true reply
as to where slot managers place their "loose"
machines, besides, no two casinos do it exactly
alike.
Nor
is it possible to distinguish "loose"
and "tight" machines by look or type.
Unless specifically advertised, such as, "98%
return on these machines," two similar machines
sitting side-by-side could produce radically different
results.
Yet,
if happenstance and Irish luck place you in front
of the loosest machine in the house, a "loose"
machine over the long run is seldom a winning
proposition.

A
slot I had just left hits jackpot.
If I had played just three more quarters, that

No even gluing your hopeful fanny to that same
machine's stool would not have given you that
$10,000 jackpot. Why?
