I used the Slimefinder app at www.Chunkbase.com for the seed 3380687565360090872, and the co-ords !!!!!!!!!!!!! at Y 12, I believe, and NO slimes. There's a cave above that area, and slimes spawn in there frequently, and I have none in the area I dug out myself. Is there a Y level limit on the low side? Please, all you MC Tech ppl, try the seed and dig out the area at the co-ords, lvl Y12 (in creative obviously) and try it, unless you already know what the problem is. PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks alot!

Just keep digging out large rooms. You can even try stacking layers with a ladder to access the different floors. They can spawn as low as bedrock and as high as y=40.
Make the floors 3 blocks high with jack-o-lanterns in the floor for lighting (don't use glowstone or torches, they can get in the way of spawns. Lanterns, however, are solid and spawnable). Try to light up all the caves around the area as well, to reduce other mob spawns.

Slimes have a relatively low spawning probability in the first place. So to help with that, the biggest step is to light up (or flood) all caves and the surface within about a 128 block radius of your slime chunk. This keeps hostile mobs from spawning in the surrounding area forcing nothing but slimes to be able to spawn (as they are considered a hostile mob).
The other big thing is making sure you're standing between 24 and 32 blocks away from your spawning room. Any closer and nothing will spawn in there at all. Stand more than 32 and they have a chance to despawn and more than 128 and they don't spawn at all.
I'm sorry, I was away from my Xbox when I posted it, and I was gonna put the co-ords in later, which is why I marked it with exclamation points, but I forgot. If you guys wanna try it yourself, the chunk is:
X: 320 Z: 128
by
X: 336 Z: 128
by
X: 320 Z: 144
Also, I was pretty sure that Slime spawning rates were completely different with other hostile mob spawning, and that they work independantly, but whatever.
And, You haven't caught up with MIndcrack. Pause left team Canada, and Zedsteau moved in to fill it, thus the (+1-1).
Again, cut out that chunk on that seed, Y: 12, there's a cave above it that spawns slimes more frequently. If you have a minute, PLEASE try it in creative mode and check the upper cave and the spawning spot, and tell me what you see. I have had 0 slimes spawn on my pad. Meanwhile, I'll check the wiki and see if the slime spawning is independant of other hostile mob spawning. I believe that's what Etho said. It's been a while since I've watched that episode...

Ok, I did some research on slimes. Lighting does not affect slime spawns, so it won't keep my slimes from spawning other places, but it apparently does affect the rates when other hostile mobs spawn. But thanks for your help, I think I've got it down.
