If you’re looking for fun slot playing action, there is no better place than Las Vegas. Gambling is legal in Nevada - And Las Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world, which is especially true for those who love to gamble even a little bit. The city is filled to the brim with slot machines to play. In fact, you can even find them in grocery stores! What’s better than buying your groceries and hitting a jackpot on your way out? The casinos in Las Vegas are very dedicated to slot machines - And if it were not for Las Vegas, slot machines would still be stuck in the in the past. In recent years, the video slot machines have been pushing their way onto the casino floor. Overall, video slot machines in Las Vegas account for around 40% of the slot machine space allotted. Gaming conventions are held all year long in Las Vegas where the latest and greatest in slot machine technology and branding is held. It’s common to see real life pop culture icons gracing the Las Vegas conventions as companies seek to sell their branded slot machines and casino executives seek to increase the themes offered to slot machine players in their casinos. Every single day in Las Vegas slot players can find slot tournaments to play in. In fact, many free slot machine tournaments exist. If you are a slot player, the first thing you need to do when entering a Las Vegas casino is to register for their Players Club. Typically, this involves receiving a plastic card that you slip into any slot machine you play. If you play video poker or other games (like table games), the card works there as well. By playing slot machines with your player card, you will earn points towards cash, events and merchandise. It’s all completely free, so make sure you do this. Not all slots are created equal. Since Las Vegas is a highly competitive area (because of so many casinos in the city), slot machines will generally be more “loose” than if you were to play in say Atlantic City or an Indian casino somewhere. It’s a good idea to always read the payback percentage first. If you can’t find it, ask a floorman or change person for the information. Las Vegas is split into a couple main areas. You have “The Strip”, where casinos such as Caesar’s Palace, MGM, Mirage, Mandalay Bay, and others are located, and you also have “Old Downtown” where casinos such as the Plaza, the Horseshoe, Golden Nugget and others reside. If you want to locate the “loosest” slots in Las Vegas, there’s only one place to go—Old Downtown. Since Old Downtown is fighting for customers who usually stay around the strip area, the slot machines have historically been “looser” than anywhere else. The casinos in the Old Downtown are not as nice, but they do generally offer better payouts and lower limit action than the Strip. If you come to Las Vegas, and have the time, take a trip to one of these casinos to try your luck. You just might go home a big winner.
