The Search For Loose Slots Machines
Many players know that finding a loose slot machine among hundred of machines on the casino floor can be near impossible. Many players believe that once that particular machine is found, it could turn the player's life around with a huge cash payout.
A loose machine is a slot machine that is set to supposedly able to give or payout a higher percentage as compared to other slot machines found elsewhere. Many believe that a 'loose' slot machine is a slot machine that is believed to be rigged in such a way or is blessed with extraordinary good luck from the Casino gods and goddesses that it never loses and/or has a very high percentage payout.
Some slot machine players spend much of their time and money trying to find this elusive machine. Some players have been known to travel to far places on rumors and hearsays.
A player from a state that plays a slot machine with a 97 percent payout would not waste their efforts to play a slot machine halfway across the state that only has a 92 percent payout. Likewise, the player who has a lower payout machine would definitely think about trying out a machine with a higher payout rate.
Fact or fiction?
There have been many speculations and discussions held by many seasoned slots players on the location of these loose slot machines. Many have come up with varying conclusions that these machines can be found scattered on the casino floor and one has to simply look for telltale signs of their locations.
Loose machines are enclosed by tight machines.
The rationale behind this myth is that many slots players like to play more than one machine as to give them bigger chances of winning. It is believed that one of the loosing machines gives its neighbor, the 'winning' machine, its earnings. Players who believe this myth are always lurking in tightly packed areas of the casino floor.
Loose machines are always situated near the entrances
The reasoning behind this legend is that players would see other players winning in the other casinos and this would entice them to come into the other casino to play. The basis for this myth could be traced to the way casinos were built in downtown Las Vegas. Casinos in the area had large entrances that allowed anyone from across the street to peer in and see if players were winning or not. When a player would see that other people were winning, they could easily enter the casino and start playing those 'winning'. This myth has been debunked several times for many casinos now have many entrances.
Loose machines can be found near the game tables
Many people somehow believe that the noise created from the slots machines would irritate players at the game table into playing slots instead. Another conjecture is that players that have lost at the table would inevitably whittle their last few winnings on the nearest slot machine in the hopes that it might hit a jackpot.
Finding a loose machine in modern day live casino is doubtful. Many of the machines are now independent of one another and have their own internal mechanisms which make it virtually impossible for anyone to tamper with them. One could actually have more chances of winning if they choose the slot game correctly and stick to it than run around chasing fairy tales.
