For reel slots, look for slot islands in areas of the casino which can be seen from different vantage points. Walk around, and find the banks of slots which can be seen from just about everywhere in the casino, or as many points as possible. These are the most visible slots, and these will traditionally be set the loosest. For video slots, or other reel slots, look for areas which are about halfway between the pit and the other common areas of the casino. Stay away from machines which are near the table games pit, or near the showroom lines, buffet lines, coffee shop, gift shop, or any other area where there are other things to do. Also, many casinos put their best-paying machines in front of, or near, the main casino cage. The same are slots tournaments. This is so that those people cashing in, or cashing checks, will see people winning and will spend some of their money in these machines as they are leaving the cage. It’s smart to look for this.
Where do the casinos put their good machines, and where do they put the bad ones?
See above. Also, sometimes the good machines can be found in hard-to-see areas, where few people go. This can be because the casino wants to attract players to that area. However, most of the time the above item serves to answer this question.

I absolutely love playing video slots over the Internet.
