How can one detect a loose slot machine?

[Julio88]

To detect a loose slot machine, it is important to closely observe the behaviour of other players and to look for machines that have been paying out frequently. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to other players' comments and feedback regarding the slot machines all round. Finally, it is important to pay attention to how much money is being wagered on the machine, as a machine that is being wagered on heavily is likely to be loose.

First, look for machines that have a high hit frequency, which is the percentage of spins that result in a payout. Loose slots typically have a hit frequency of 30% or more. Second, look for machines that have a high payback percentage, which is the percentage of money that is returned to players over time.

Loose machines are frequently positioned by casinos in locations they hope will draw customers. For instance, to draw in more players, machines near entrances or busy areas might be looser.
