Casinos will rarely put two loose machines next to each other, so if a machine is winning don’t play the one on either side of you. If a machine has recently paid out it could mean it is a “loose” machine and *may* payout big again sooner than other machines.
The higher payout machines tend to be hidden and not in the front of the casino. A one dollar machine has much better odds than a nickel machine. The higher you bet per slot pull, the better your odds of winning. That being said, here is some advice for you avid slot players who are set on winning that multi-million dollar jackpot. They are also a source of mindless entertainment, which for many is one of the reasons we like to go to Las Vegas. A major plus to playing them is that you can spend a lot of time playing and not risk much if you play the nickel or dime machines (quarter machines can add up fast). The casinos fill the place with slot machines because they take in the most money from them. Table games, like blackjack, craps or baccarat will give you a much better chance of winning. Playing tip: Slots have the worst odds in Las Vegas (house advantage is about 10%), so if you lose you have been warned.
