How Online Slots and Casinos Are Reviewed

Our team of experienced gaming experts provides transparent, in-depth reviews of online slots, casinos, bonuses, and more available to players in Australia, the USA, Canada, and New Zealand. The goal is to empower players with knowledge to make informed decisions. We employ a rigorous multi-step process to ensure our online casino and slot reviews provide players with accurate, unbiased information.

  • Before writing a review, an expert tests the game for at least 50 hours.
  • Casinos are rated across dozens of criteria like licenses, game variety, bonuses, banking, mobile optimization, etc.
  • Free demo versions of slots are played, investing at least 3 hours per game to evaluate features like RTP, volatility, jackpots, and more.
  • Real-money games are tested to fully assess gameplay, graphics, sounds, and overall user experience.

iTechLabsProvides testing and certification of software fairness and security.
MGAMalta Gaming Authority regulates many online gambling sites in Europe.
GLIGaming Laboratories International audits and certifies gambling software.

Online Slots Review Process:

  • Gameplay. The slot must be played extensively across all bet configurations until all features are triggered.
  • Research specifications. RTP, volatility, max payouts, and other specifications must be confirmed via research of provider information.
  • Technical testing. Game functionality and performance must be rigorously tested across devices, browsers, and operating systems.
  • Paytable analysis. The paytable displaying symbol payouts must be thoroughly documented at minimum, median, and maximum bet levels.
  • Return testing. After extensive gameplay, the slot’s actual RTP must be calculated and compared to the published RTP.
  • Documentation. All bonus rounds, free spin awards, multipliers, and special feature behaviours must be fully documented.
  • Strategies. Document potential strategies to increase odds based on observed payout patterns and gameplay behaviours.
  • Risks. Objectively note the risks of relying on unproven strategies. Outcomes remain random.

Online Casinos Review Process:

  • Testing. Experts extensively test websites, apps, account registration, deposits/withdrawals, gameplay, and customer support.
  • Bonus analysis. All bonuses and promotions are claimed and analyzed based on terms and value.
  • Library research. The game catalogue is thoroughly assessed based on variety, software providers, and actual available titles.
  • License verification. Regulatory licenses are researched and confirmed as valid and current.
  • Policy review. All terms, rules, policies, and legal documentation are examined.
  • Benchmark to competitors. The casino is compared to competitors on all criteria.
