Slot machines are popular because they are user-friendly and offer a lot of variety. If you are also a fan of slot machines and would like to win, then it is important to choose a separate slot machine. A loose slot machine is a slot machine that pays out more than average. With a good selection of machines and a little planning, your chances of winning will increase significantly!

To step

Method 1 of 3: Play to win

1. Bet the maximum amount of coins. At many machines, betting the maximum amount of coins is a requirement to have a chance to win the jackpot. In the payout table you will find whether this is also the case for your chosen machine. The Payout Schedule is a small sticker that shows the percentage probability of winning combinations. If the bet for the maximum number of coins is too high for your budget, it is better to find another slot machine with lower bets.
   • For example, if a machine has a minimum bet of 20 cents and a maximum bet of $ 1, then you should choose the $ 1 bet for the highest odds of winning.
   • This technique is most effective on slot machines with a jackpot. However, it is also a method that can be used with many machines without a jackpot.
2. Test how well your chosen machine pays out. When choosing a new machine, it is important to estimate the payout percentage of this machine. Play a few rounds and watch the machine payout. After a while you can determine whether the payouts are at least as high as your bet. If this is the case, stay with the machine. There is a chance that you have found a separate slot machine! If your bet is higher than the amounts you get back, then it is time to find another machine.
   • For example, if you bet a total of 20 euros in half an hour and the machine only returns 10 euros in that time, then the chances are small that it is a separate machine. It is then time to leave the machine and look for a better machine.
   • Do not select a favorite machine. If you become too attached to a particular machine, there is a risk that you will not leave the machine in time if it no longer pays out properly.
3. Play on multiple slots. Experienced gamblers will often play two or three different slot machines simultaneously. These gamblers believe that individual machines are located right next to poorly paying machines. By trying out several machines next to each other, these gamblers have a higher chance of finding a separate slot machine.
   • Don't try to do too much at once. When you play on machines that are too far apart, it can become difficult to remember which different machines you are playing on.
   • Be careful when using this tactic because if you are unlucky you can lose money quickly!
4. Know when to stop playing. Before you visit the casino or arcade, determine the maximum amount you are willing to lose in the event of a breakdown. Never gamble with money you need for other commitments. If you are lucky enough to win a nice amount quickly, you can consider to only continue playing with the budget with which you started for this profit. By applying this system, you can keep your loss as limited as possible.

Method 2 of 3: Choose a machine

1. Play slots with good payouts. Usually the machines with a higher minimum bet have a higher payout percentage. Machines where the minimum bet is 1 euro usually have a payout percentage between 95% and 99%, while machines where you can also play for 20 cents or 50 cents often only pay out 92% to 95%. Be careful when casinos or arcades claim that machines pay out "up to 99.5%". To be able to claim this, it is enough to have one machine that pays out 99.5%. It is possible that all other machines have average payouts or even poor payouts.
   • The payout percentage of slot machines is usually not publicly visible. View the game explanation that you can find via the game machine or look up the information online.
   • The payout percentage of a machine does not change suddenly during certain times. This is a common myth. Payouts remain the same for at least a few weeks and sometimes even several years.
2. Do not play on machines with a progressive jackpot. Slots with a progressive jackpot are slow to collect the money from all active players and show the total amount as the jackpot. When you play on these slots, you have a chance to win millions of euros! However, that chance is very small. These machines bring money to the casino or arcade by luring customers with a chance to win big and then slowly but surely taking their money. Don't be fooled by these marketing tricks.
   • If you can't resist the temptation to play on a machine with a progressive jackpot, you should always play the maximum bet. If not, you may not be eligible for the jackpot.
   • Some avoid progressive jackpot machines until the jackpot amount is exceptionally high. To achieve the advertised average payout percentage, a machine must pay out from time to time. Hence, if a jackpot hits a high amount, it could be a sign that the machine is about to pay out.
3. Do not play on multiple payline machines. On these machines you see multiple paylines or lines with numbers or symbols that determine how much you win. These machines often have many different combinations that you can win with, spread over different paylines. This can be tempting, but don't be fooled! These machines usually have a lower payout percentage than the normal slot machines.
   • You can recognize these machines by the fact that they show multiple rows and columns of symbols and advertise "many different winning combinations".
   • The best-known type of multi-payline machine has five rows and five columns of symbols.

Method 3 of 3: Pick a location

1. Only play in casinos and arcades. Casino and arcade machines usually have a fairly high average payout of around 95%. This means that the machines pay out on average about 95% of the total bet of all players. Other locations such as airports, bars, supermarkets and petrol stations are subject to less strict conditions and therefore often have much lower average payouts.
   • Las Vegas is known for being the gambling city with the most loose machines.
   • A popular theory is that older casinos have more loose slots in order to compete with the new, flashy casinos.
2. Ask an employee for tips. Employees of casinos and arcades see thousands of gamblers at work every week. So they also know which machines paid out the best recently and are often willing to share this information in exchange for a tip. Find out if there have been any major winnings recently and, if so, on which machines they were made. Also ask them which machines they prefer to play on themselves.
   • Give a nice tip when they help you, especially when they also provide other services such as serving drinks.
   • Do not insist if you are not willing to help. This may be against company policy and thus could get them into trouble.
3. Find the places with the highest chance of loose machines. Many players believe that casinos strategically place their individual machines in busy locations to encourage passers-by to play too. So choose vending machines in visible places such as near the cash register or bar. Also vending machines placed in the corridors, which require players to walk to reach other parts of the casino, are known to pay out well.
   • Keep in mind that this is just a theory. So don't keep playing for too long on a machine that pays poorly, even if it is in a good location.
   • If you can't find a good machine, ask another gambler if they know good paying machines.
4. Avoid locations that pay poorly. Many experienced players avoid the locations where attention is drawn to. These are locations with very visible, flashy slot machines that try to lure you. These machines are notorious for their poor payouts. Also ignore the machines near table games. Table game participants can be distracted by these slot machines, so they rarely pay out to avoid attracting attention.
   • Definitely don't play on slot machines near poker tables. These have a reputation for paying very poorly.

Tips

• Take advantage of loyalty programs These can offer additional benefits at casinos where they are offered.
• Wear a lucky charm for extra luck There are many types of lucky charms, from lucky coins to items of clothing worn during past moments of happiness.
• Play with coins instead of bills if you want to play at a high speed.

Warnings

• There are many theories for finding loose slot machines, many of which are legends. Be careful with other gamblers' advice.
• Never gamble illegally.
