I only like one slot machine and it' a video slot machine. It's the Price Is Right. First time I saw this machine was in Vegas.
It's always a loose machine. I have played this machine in all casino's in Vegas and they all hit a big payout. I went to Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun and both casino's hit a nice payout for me. The fact that you can go to the showcase showdown and pick prizes and get bonus's is the best machines in mind to play. It's random on when the video part will hit but, plinko and cliff hanger are the 2 machines for Price is Right. I love the Plinko machine because you can make some good money if you drop that plingo chip just right. The fact you have control over some of the machine of how things are going to happen helps a lot. The other slot machines are just a pull next pull next.
In vegas I hit 4 machine in 3 different casino in the same day for over 500 bucks. The next day I was in vegas I went back to the same machines and hit low on 2 but made some profit. Then the slot machine that I didn't use the day before hit for $2500 or 10,000 quarters. I got this winning the show case show down again. That was only on plinko. Cliffhanger I won about 200 bucks on the machines.
When I go to the CT casino's I usualy bring about 100 bank for slots and that is the only machine I play. I have always come out ahead everytime playing. Could be just luck but, I have played other machines and loose then go back to my favorite and win it all back.
Vidoe poker I like also because of some control you have. Red white and blue and stars and strips seem to have always been the most popular slots. I never win at them.
Other slots I have won at with more wins then losses is Monopoly in vegas. It was the one with the board bonus where you keep picking till you hit 3 no money. I usually get 2x, 5x and 10x payouts. Vegas machine I belive are loose because there is so many casino's where here in CT there is only 2 so the payouts are not in your favor.
I have also played price is right in NJ at Atlantic City and always have won there to. They don't have the machine in every casino but, the first time I went there I went in every casino to find that machine. I would stay on it till I double my money or more and then leave.
Unlike the lottery when a machine gets hot it only stays hot for so long. Maybe 15 to 25 more spins with less then 1/2 being winners. The ons that do hit when a machine get hot hit usually big or a good amount depending on what you think big is. 100 bucks is big to me..
The lottery if a number get's hot then you stay with it and usaully it will stay hot a lot longer.
The oldwifes tale about casino's putting machines in area's where people will see a lot of noise or big prizes like car spining around or progressive slots are a rip off. Some casino's rotate daily some weekly but, at least the sun is true to the saying that look for the big lights and happy people winning and you will find the loose machines as they call it.
I don't go to casino's here in CT anymore unless it's for a concert. After visiting Vegas and Atlantic city I would rather go there then here in CT.
The payouts are better and because there is so much to do for entertainment and so many casino's I believe you have a better chance to win.
I know in vegas they advertise like crazy that 95% payouts on like nickel machine and stuff.
So my best advise is play at casino's that have a lot of compition because that is where you will find more winning machines.
At least this is what I have experienced.

P.S. One thing I like to do is start at the top of max bet then after 4 spins lower down then build up. If you do it over and over on certain machines sometimes it will work good. Parlay bet....If you don't hit after about 10 spins ...I mean no wins at all...get out of there!!!
Another tip is watch people playing. Usually if a machine is cold after a few people have been on it. Then soon or later it will get hot
Last tip is when machines run out of money that is the best time to leave or play a little more ..find a amount of spins that is in your budgeet without going into you winnings. If the machine hits keep going but, if it dies out with no hits after 5 or 6 spins...LEAVE!!
