Jackpot Journal Insider: 🎰 The 5 U.S. Casinos With the Loosest Slots 💸🔥

In the world of slot machines, RTP (Return to Player) measures how much money a slot pays back over time — for example, a 95% RTP means players get about $95 back for every $100 wagered in the long run. Some casinos across America have earned reputations for having “looser” slots, offering higher RTPs and better odds for players. Here are the Top 5 Loosest Slot Casinos in the U.S. for those chasing the best returns.

1.) Resorts World New York City – Located at 110-00 Rockaway Blvd, Queens, NY, this casino tops most “loosest slots” lists with an impressive 96.9% RTP and over 5,800 machines. The OTB section is known for especially generous returns. Pro tip: Hit the floor early in the day before crowds form to claim the high-payback favorites.

2.) Reno, Nevada Casinos – The Reno region averages around 94.6% RTP, with hundreds of machines in each property across its downtown strip. Smaller local casinos often edge out the bigger names in payouts. Pro tip: Stick to off-Strip venues for the loosest machines and longer playtime.

3.) Sam’s Town, Las Vegas (Boulder Strip) – Found at 5111 Boulder Hwy, this Vegas favorite runs 1,000+ slots and averages a 94.2% RTP. Boulder Strip casinos are famous for higher returns than those on the main Strip. Pro tip: Play during midweek afternoons when machines are least crowded.

4.) CasaBlanca Resort, Mesquite, NV – With an estimated 94.1% RTP and around 700 machines, CasaBlanca offers some of Nevada’s best odds outside major tourist areas. Pro tip: Visit mid-week or early mornings — locals swear that’s when looser settings are most active.

5.) Harrah’s Resort, Atlantic City, NJ – At 777 Harrah’s Blvd, AC’s top loose slot contender features 2,000+ machines and a regional-best 91.5% RTP. Pro tip: Try the quarter slots in the older sections of the floor; they’ve historically paid out more consistently.*RTP based on averages and not guaranteed

No Doubt Reunites for Explosive 2026 Las Vegas Sphere Residency

This marks the group’s first multi-night return together since the early 2010s, and Gwen Stefani will make history as the first woman ever to headline the cutting-edge Vegas venue. Expect hits like “Just a Girl,” “Spiderwebs,” and “Don’t Speak” to sound bigger than ever inside the world’s most immersive concert experience.
