Locations With Enough Space for a Crowd to Gather - Machines which are out in the open and can been seen from many different parts of the casino are usually programmed to be "loose".

Near Change Booths - At busy times you'll find people standing in line to get change from the change booths. Bigger paying slots are placed near these booths. People will see them pay out big and make a conscious decision to change more money.

Near the End of a Row - Slot machines with the biggest payouts were created for one reason only. To have people see them paying out jackpots thereby convincing by-standers to start playing. With this in mind a casino will place high paying slots in highly visible areas. Near the end of a row of slots is a great place to find high paying slots as people walking along the end of the rows will see you win. I've personally used this method to pick machines and in one weekend this single methods netted me over $5000.00 in winnings! Not bad for only playing $0.25 machines!

Near Gaming Tables (Craps, Blackjack, Poker and Roulette) - Gamblers who are playing on the casinos gaming tables tend to spend a lot more money then slot players and don't want the distraction of coins clanking. Table players usually are not that interested in slots anyway so there is little reason for the casino to place teh bigger paying machiens near the gaming tables.

The Front Entrance - The front entrance to the casino used to be a place for high paying slots but no longer. Casinos realized that the need to get people inside. If people were gathering around that high paying machine at the entrance this would block the entrance not allowing other high paying players to enter the door.

Non-Gaming Establishments - Avoid playing slots in places like Clubs, Bars, Airports etc. These machines are in place to take the money or are bored. There is no incentive for these places to get customers to return to play more which is the whole point of loose slots.
