The Slot Chart
The following chart is a typical month for US casinos and the payback percentages they offer at their slot machines. The loosest slots in the US are located in the downtown region of Las Vegas in Nevada, with a 95.4 percent payback. You’ll notice that the poorest payback percentages are located mostly in Atlantic City. But many of those paybacks are augmented by programs that reward frequent gamblers, such as cashback programs, free rooms, food, gifts and other promotions. Although it appears that your money goes a longer way in Nevada and some of the other areas, when you figure the “extras”, Altantic City casinos are usually comparable. Also note the 101.1 percent payback percentage at Casino Rock Island in Illinois. Occasionally, you’ll see this anomaly, which indicates that a casino paid out more than it took in for one month. This will be balanced out over the course of a year.
