Casinos with "loosest slots"?

Hey, yall!

Im headed out for an afternoon of gambling. In which casinos do you have the best luck?

I enjoyed the pun, but I am not a slot player, I stick to craps, black jack, and baccarat...

DM is welcome!

There is no casino with the best luck. How do you think they stay in business? Because the odds are always in their favor. Over the long run you always make money by just staring away from all casinos.

However, it is your choice if you want to throw your money away while listening to the noise of room.

Slots have the worst return on your gamble. At least you know a little. But a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, drink deeply of the fountain of knowledge. Then you will know more, and perhaps gamble less.

Black Jack used to have much better odds, but then it was played with a single deck of cards: now the use multiple decks to play the game - much harder to count cards.
I believe there are single deck tables around, with higher minimums.

I typically play craps, the only game in which you can bet with the house. But lately. Ameristar has been opening crapless first, with no Don't Pass.

Ameristar, Harrah's and Argosy have all been somewhat lucky for ECG and I. We're both blackjack players and have been for quite a while.

Argosy is my favorite. Don’t know if it’s the slots or the showers though
Video Poker is supposed to have good returns.

I helped to build and open four river boat casinos. Here is a secret (not so much), when a casino advertises their pay off, it is a cumulative percentage. Meaning, all the slot machines added together make up that percentage that they like to call your attention to. However, that means in percentage terms, a $100 slot machine is the same as a 25 cent slot machine. And here is a darker secret, the house can bias some machines to pay off more often but other machines will pay off less often. So they allow the machines in high traffic areas to have more "jackpots" to entice people to see and play. So high traffic area machines are your best bet. Of course, the best play is the day the casino opens for business as there are always bugs in the program. They found a slot machine in Baton Rouge that gave you credit for ten dollars for every dollar you put in the machine. So, put in ten dollars, ring up 100 dollars, play a couple of times... and cash out! They refilled the machine four times before they caught on.

So let's look at it this way, If you started out with 100, you'll get roughly 90 back. Then you play that 90 and gets 81 back. Keep playing and you'll end up with NADA lol.

The vast number of pay outs are not the big ones. They would lose that way. They want to generate excitement and the best way to do that is having women squealing over a minor payout near a walking area like the entrance. People will think that if she can win $10 by tossing in a couple of quarters then I can do the same on the $10 dollar machines. Why, I'll win a thousand dollars. But you don't.
