The Team Behind Our Slot Reviews

How our reporting gets built

Our team reviews slot machines for a living, which means going past marketing copy and checking what a provider's own technical documentation actually says. For a title like Leprechaun from Eurasian Gaming, that meant reading the provider's public games page, cross-checking third-party casino portals, and comparing paytable descriptions line by line before writing a single sentence about reel count or feature triggers.

We work from primary sources whenever they exist. When a studio publishes an RTP sheet or a certified paytable, we cite that number and stop there. When it doesn't — as with several details around Leprechaun's release date and volatility rating — we say so once, plainly, rather than filling the gap with an industry-average guess that would only mislead a player checking their bankroll math.

Numbers that do have a documented source, such as the 95.00% RTP or the 5x3 reel layout with 10 fixed paylines, get reported as stated by the outlet that published them. Where sources disagree, as happened with the 181x max win figure quoted by only one detailed review, we flag it as third-party rather than presenting it as an official studio figure.

Beyond math, our analysts play the demo builds themselves, note how free spins trigger, how wild and scatter symbols behave on the reels, and whether a game's mechanics match what's advertised. That hands-on pass catches details that spec sheets alone miss, like the bottom-to-centre symbol movement some Eurasian Gaming titles use instead of a standard top-down drop.

Every review on this site goes through the same process: source check, gameplay check, and a final read for claims that can't be backed up. If a figure can't be confirmed, it doesn't get invented — it gets labelled as unconfirmed and left at that.
