We’re halfway through 2018 and figured it would be a good time to check in on the Nevada Gaming Control Board’s Gaming Revenue Reporting – allowing us to help you find the loosest slots in Las Vegas. We will be looking specifically at “non-restricted” locations (essentially the big casinos) and their data from the past year (July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2018). Additionally, we will identify which table games were the most/least friendly to players over that same time frame.
The reporting we’re looking at doesn’t drill down to the individual casino level, rather, groupings of casinos by geography. We’ll be able to help you identify the casinos in each reporting zone with machines featuring a lower casino win percentage (or hold) so you can chase bigger payouts.

As a matter of housekeeping, casino “win percentage” is defined as the % of the total amount of money wagered by the player that the casino held as profit. For instance, a 10% casino win percentage means to the casino, on average, kept 10 cents on every dollar wagered on slots.
Looking at the chart below, you can see that the loosest slots in and around Vegas are not found on the Strip itself. In fact, the more “touristy” the location it seems the tighter slots get. Slot machines on the Las Vegas Strip had a win percentage of 8.04%, Downtown Las Vegas wasn’t much better at 7.33%.
Slots in the Reno / Boulder reporting areas paid out at a more generous clip with a 5.38% and 5.66% casino win percentage respectively.
Since the area immediately surrounding Las Vegas is divvied up in to separate reporting areas, it can be difficult to know which casinos fall into which.
Casinos in the looser Boulder reporting area include: Sam’s Town, Eastside Cannery, Arizona Charlie’s, Boulder Station, Sunset Station, M Resort and Green Valley Ranch.
Casinos in the North Las Vegas include: Jerry’s Nugget, Silver Nugget, Fiesta Hotel and Casino, Texas Station, Cannery and Aliante.
What denomination of slot machine has been the loosest over the past 12 months? It won’t surprise you to learn that, generally, the larger the denomination, the looser the slots get. Megabucks were, by far, the tightest slots in Vegas at a whopping 11.30% casino win percentage. Penny slots, the most popular denomination, were not very generous at a 9.88% casino win rate.
Keep in mind, if you play 75 or more credits on a penny machine, you can play a larger denomination without increasing your bet and improve your slot chances.
Now, we’ll shift our focus away from the slots and take a peek at sports betting. Football, basketball and baseball all gave the house a small win rate of between 3%-7%. The book capitalizes, however on parlay cards where they kept a whopping 22.59% of wagers over the past year.
Lastly, we look at what table games took a larger percentage of player money and which treated the player the best over the past year.
It’s important to note that the casino win percentage on table games refer to the percentage of the player’s buy in that was eventually won by the house. For instance, if a player bought into a blackjack game for $20, played for an hour and cashed out for $10 the house win rate would be 50% because they took half of the buy in.
Looking at the chart below, you can see that 3-Card Poker was the worst game for players as the casino had a 31.79% win rate.
Below, you can see that Mini Baccarat (12.59%), Baccarat (13.29%), Craps (15.22%) and Blackjack (13.98%) are games players found the most success playing over the past year based on the house win rate.
Increase your odds on table games by staying away from the additional side bets that generally feature an increased house edge. When playing craps, focus your energy on the free odds bet behind the pass line and shy away from playing the more exotic bets in the middle of the table.
Generally speaking, if you are looking for a looser slot machine in Las Vegas, you’ll want to migrate to casinos off the beaten path and play denominations greater than penny slots. On the tables, you’ll want to stick to the classics like blackjack and craps ensuring you steer clear of 6/5 blackjack and circus side bets. Good luck and win big in Vegas!

Every October, gaming manufacturers show off their latest and greatest games and gadgets for casinos to purchase at the mammoth Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas, Nevada. The expo floor at G2E is very similar to actual casinos. The majority of space is occupied by slot machines. Table games are usually a distant second and everything else is an even more distant third place.
The 2018 G2E, held this past week at Sands Expo & Convention Center, was slightly different. Not only was there a huge interest in sports betting discussion (which even had a separate, dedicated symposium of educational sessions with notable speakers), but there were other noticeable shifts in traditional gaming. Slot machine manufacturers have minimized their focus on poorly performing skill-based games. The large slot machine and gaming manufacturers are using much more space to promote their sports betting products.
Here are five trends and technological marvels from the 2018 Global Gaming Expo:
Craps goes high-tech at Aruze Gaming
YO! 🎲🎲🎲 pic.twitter.com/wmf3jqozDH
— Marc (@MeltzVegas) October 9, 2018
Last year, Aruze Gaming had a prototype of a craps game where players would roll dice on a coated video screen table instead of table topped with felt. The partially electronic craps game has betting stations for each player so there are no chips on the table.
Experienced gamblers might remember the similar Rapid Craps, the betting station that looks similar to the Shoot to Win bubble craps games currently in casinos. The lack of chips means there’s only need for one dealer, the stick person, to retrieve the dice.
The finished version of Roll To Craps is much more interesting than the prototype. Say goodbye to the traditional green felt and hello to optional colors and displays. Casinos may opt to display something cool around the edges, such as fire graphics, or promotions for amenities like shows, events or restaurants at the property.
We passed by a tournament that had a full Roll To Craps table of players and it was bonkers. Each wager placed at the betting station shoots a laser from the player to the location of the bet on the table. It looks like a one-way Star Wars battle.
This new craps experience probably won’t replace every craps table in a casino. It will offer a different craps experience for newer gamblers who are looking to move from Shoot to Win bubble craps to a traditional craps table with dealers.
PlayUSA is told that a number of casinos have shown interest in Roll To Craps. So far, Caesars Entertainment is the only casino operator to publicly confirm they will offer this game. Roll To Craps will be placed at The Linq next year, a nice complement to the hotel’s new high-tech sportsbook.
Sports betting kiosks are about to skyrocket
European sports bettors have enjoyed the convenience of betting kiosks for years. Well, the US is finally closing in on the punters. The first sports betting kiosks from SB Tech are already operating at Golden Nugget sportsbooks in Mississippi and New Jersey.
IGT was showing off their PlayShot kiosks for sports bettors at G2E. These kiosks will be placed in IGT partner casinos in those same states by the end of the year. IGT has multiple versions of PlayShot, so different casinos might offer different products.
The full-sized kiosk of PlayShot is adaptable to IGT’s Cardless Connect mobile loyalty club systems so bettors can receive players club points for their bets.
There are plenty more sports betting companies kiosks ready for dancing partners in the US. It’s just a matter of time until every sportsbook offers a betting experience for every kind of customer.
Once regulations pass mobile and kiosks in all states, bettors in America can walk up to a window and bet with a human, sit down and use a mobile app or peruse a kiosk trying to figure out who they want to bet.
The first in-play sports betting terminal
IGT debuted their CrystalBetting Terminal for In-Play sports betting at G2E this year. In-Play bets happen while a game is being played. While this type of wagering dominates Europe, it’s still just getting started in the United States.
Most bettors in New Jersey and Nevada use mobile apps to place In-Play wagers. Unfortunately, some of the apps aren’t quick enough for bettors to place a bet in the 10-20 seconds between plays in a football game.
Not only do CrystalBetting Terminals offer In-Play betting inside of a casino without using a mobile device, but they’re also super quick. The hyperfocused screen allows bettors to watch and listen to the game of their choice.
The screen also shows bettors live In-Play wagering options for the game they’re watching. When a wagering opportunity strikes their fancy, the bettor can place a bet right on the screen. Since bettors can pre-populate their wagers, there shouldn’t be problems placing a wager before a new play resets the odds.
The CrystalBetting Terminal still has to go through a field trial before it receives regulatory approval. This is one of the more unique items that could change the shape of sportsbooks in the future. Keep an eye on this being tested in a casino next year.
Slot machines are getting…girthy
Last year, the trend for slot machines was to go high. The main screen for most slot machines has gotten noticeably taller in the past year. Some slot machines have added upper screens for bonuses above the already tall screens. It’s almost impossible to miss some of the new tall slot machines when walking through a casino.
This year, there is a noticeable trend of slot machines making cabinets wider. The wider screen allows for a huge, crystal clear display that’s visible from farther than ever. The wide seats can easily fit two people playing together. The wider seats can also fit larger slot machine players with lots of room.
Say what you will, the technology in slot machines continue to evolve. The slot machines in casinos today are a far cry from the one-armed bandits of the past. In fact, many new slot machines don’t even have arms.
MacGyver is the most comfortable slot machine ever
The iconic, pop culture-themed games get most of the attention at G2E. It’s understandable that people would be attracted to familiar names like Motown, South Park, Karate Kid, The Price Is Right, Billions, Madonna, Willy Wonka, etc. These popular brands will certainly see the light of day in casinos if they haven’t already.
However, big names don’t guarantee that a slot machine will be fun. The gameplay is what makes the slot machine fun. Technology is a large part of how to make slot machine games differently beyond the theme. Novomatic is taking a 33-year-old TV show and making one of the most unique slot machines on the casino floor.
New Slot Machines In Las Vegas 2019
The MacGyver slot machine is a unique three-piece game with two display screens and a chair that you won’t find with any other slot machine today. The adjustable, high-back leather chair almost makes the player feel as though they’re sitting in a flight simulator. There’s a cup holder in one armrest and a spin button on the other armrest.
If the play is so comfortable that they don’t want to move their hands, they can just use a foot pedal to step on a spin button that attaches the chair to the slot machine unit. And there are plenty of bright lights and loud noises in the game to satisfy anyone’s need for action.
