As many slots players are aware of, you improve your chances of winning by finding slots games with the best payout percentages. Of course, this is easier said than done because most slots games don't have blinking cursors pointing to the top payout percentages. This being said, let's look at how you can find the best slots games in both land-based and online casinos. 

Land-based Casinos

The best general way to find top land-based slot machines is by looking for casinos that don't have lots of other great entertainment. For example, many downtown Las Vegas casinos offer excellent payout percentages on their slots games because they need a way to draw players. Contrast this to the bigger Vegas Strip casinos such as the MGM Grand and Caesars Palace; these venues have entertaining shows, great restaurants and vibrant bars so they don't need to offer slot machines with good payout percentages to entice players.

Another important thing for slots players to avoid is games that are located in airports and restaurants. Seeing as how there are limited gaming options around airports and restaurants, the slots providers crank up the payout percentages because they know people will still play - especially casual players who have no idea. Now the aforementioned tips may not be the case 100% of the time, but in most situations, you'll find the best slots games by playing in smaller, older casinos.

Online Casinos

What's nice about online casinos is that there's tons of information on them floating around the internet. So if you want to find a payout percentage on a certain online casino, you can look this information up online. Assuming you have the time, you can also email an online casino directly to get info on payout percentages. Now some people might not like doing this, but you also have to consider that if you're going to play slots seriously, then you should be playing the best games to maximize potential profits.

The lone exception to this rule is if you want to play a progressive slots games that's offering a huge jackpot. For example, if you want to play for a $2 million progressive jackpot, but have hesitations about the 90% payout percentage, you can look past this when such a large jackpot is at stake. But also keep in mind that you'll probably have to make the maximum spin size too. After all, progressive jackpots don't get huge because people are making penny-sized wagers.
