Alas, they are almost non-existant these days. I still check out a web-site devoted to sometimes EV+ slots, but the few they find are generally in remote places, or are so lame as to not be worth chasing.
As an example of what Sonny is referring to, the used to be a diamond mine slot machine. Every time a diamond appeared on a reel, it was added to one of several mines. In the course of play, the diamonds would add up, and at a certain weight the whole mine would come crashing down, and you'd score a nice bonus. Civilians , who didn't know the game, would play awhile and get the mine partialy filled before switching machines. A scavanger would descend and finish it off, reaping the rewards. It became fairly well known and I've heard one of the reasons for the games disappearence was that too many aurguments and fights broke out amongst the scavangers. To my surprise,I found just such a machine in Laughlin last year, but it never reached levels I thought were worth wonging in to.

Key word in your statement is "used to be."

An example of advantage slot play

I know a casino that has 40 slot machines tied into each other for progressive jackpots. These are nickel machines, with a progressive starting at 15 or 20,000 but guaranteed to hit before it reaches $30,000. To get the $30,000 you do not have to hit a winning combination and you do not need to bet max credits, just one of the 40 machines will lock up and then your screen will show that you won.
So I am in this casino one day and I see that this progressive is now at over $29,500 and I sit down and do what I never do, play slots. I figure each seat is worth $750 and with every machine taken the jackpot should hit in 3 or so hours. If I put in less than $750, I am playing advantage slots and am betting one line of one credit (or five cents) per spin. When the thing got around $29,800 someone (not me) hit and I left losing about $12.

I would say an investment of $12 on a 40-1 shot at winning $30,000 is advantage slot play.

I snagged some freeplays for the slots that had no wagering requirements other than playing through the amount of the freeplay. Naturally, there's a ridiculously miniscule chance that you won't profit at all, so I figured it was worth a few trips to use up the different coupons and ended up somewhere around +$150 for the grand total. Chump change, but not bad for free money with no house edge. Unfortunately, I couldn't use one of the larger coupons due to the 3-hour wait to activate the damn thing.

Pretty lame, but this could slide by as "AP slots."

I guess anything FREE would be considered AP !

There are suckers everywhere and the casino is just cashing in by pushing the envelope to utterly stupid people.
