Re: Vegas: who really has the loosest slots?
Video poker has a higher EV than slots. You just need to learn the basic strategy. There have been a couple of threads about this recently, one in the Book forum if I 'member.
Video poker machines also vary, but you can tell the payout by reading the chart on the front. Two slots right next to each other might look the same but payout differently.
That said, as a general rule the best VP machines and the best slots are going to be where the locals play. On the Strip is worst, downtown is next worst. The best places are off-strip places like Orleans, Sam's Town, any of the Stations (Boulder Station, etc.)
These are also going to be the best and friendliest for amateurs playing craps, 21, etc. And if your group will be there for any length of time, get the membership cards from where ever you play. The points can add up to some free meals, etc, over a couple of days.
