How to Find Las Vegas Slot Machines

Finding a slot machine in Las Vegas is easy There are more than 100,000 slot machines, beginning at McCarren International Airport and extending to grocery stores, barber shops and, of course, more than 120 casinos. Casinos offer the same machines, but attendants and floor supervisors can help you find the type you want. Understanding what to play and how to play it will make your gaming more fun and potentially more profitable.

  1. Types of Slot Machines

      Find a reel machine for the easiest play. These "one-armed bandits" have three to five movable mechanical reels. Insert more coins in reel machines to increase potential payout s.

      Choose a video slot machine to play the most lines per pull. They have a minimum of nine electronic reels and can display as many as 50 lines. Insert more coins to activate more lines.

      Have the floor attendant point out a progressive slot machine for a chance at the highest jackpot on the floor. Payouts increase by the minute, based on the number of coins inserted in all the progressives linked together in a network with other casinos. Because of their high jackpots, progressives typically pay 2 percent to 7 percent less than standard machines. Unless, of course, you hit the big one!

      Choose a 'bonus feature' machine that activates a bonus when a certain symbol appears on the last reel with a maximum bet. For example, when the "Spin" symbol appears on the pay line with a maximum bet on a Wheel of Fortune game, the player is able to hit a "Spin Button," activating the Wheel at the top of the machine. The Wheel pays the amount indicated where it stops spinning. On the $5 Wheel of Fortune machine, the minimum stop is $125, and the maximum is $1,195, on a $15 bet.

      Ask for a "bonus multiplier" if you want a game that increases your winnings with more coins added. For example, on the Red, White and Blue game, you might win 1,000 coins for one coin, 2,000 for two or 10,000 coins for the third coin inserted.

Tips & Warnings

  • Always play the maximum bet on progressive and bonus games.

  • Maximize your gambling fund by using the Deuce bus or the monorail instead of cabs.

  • Join the free "players club" in every casino for special deals and discounts.

  • Never gamble with more than you can afford to lose.
