As can be seen on the Slimes page, they can be found either underground in Slime chunks (below y=39), or in Swamps around full moon. My suggestion is to really go for finding a Swamp, and hanging around for full moon.

I've established a secondary base at a Swamp, and using a Looting III sword I've been able to collect multiple stacks of Slimeballs during a single night. Another good tip, if you've found a Swamp, is to kill all mobs you find to trigger generation of other mobs, including the Slimes.

So running around in a Swamp killing all mobs (preferrably with a Looting enchanced sword) is a good way of finding Slimes.

Lastly, if you're having problem finding the swamp in your world, one idea can be to create a world on the same seed in Creative mode, and then fly around locating the swamp. And when found, memorize a way to the swamp and go on adventure in your Survival world.
