1 min read

A game that pays out at a higher percentage than average, usually for slots or poker.

In the context of casino gambling, the term "loose" typically refers to a slot machine or table game that has a higher payout rate or is more generous in terms of returning money to players. A "loose" slot machine is one that pays out more frequently or has larger jackpots compared to "tight" machines, which are less likely to pay out.

In a broader sense, "loose" can also describe a gambling environment where players are more willing to take risks or where the games are perceived to be more favorable to the players. For example, a "loose" table at a casino might indicate that the dealer is more lenient with rules or that players are winning more often.

Overall, the term conveys a sense of a more favorable or advantageous situation for gamblers.
