About me

What I do, what I like and where I draw the line

My taste goes in the opposite direction to the rest of the editorial team: I'm drawn to high volatility, stacked multipliers and games where the ceiling is ridiculously high. Not because I think I'll reach it, but because that's where the game math gets interesting — someone has deliberately built a hundred empty spins for a single one to be memorable.

On the site I am responsible for the reviews: the slot sites' ratings and the walkthroughs of casinos. The guides and explanatory texts are written Elin Sandgren. The split is intentional — the person who gives the rating should not also be the one who writes the rules for how the rating should be read.

The casino section is the thankless half of the job. An operator can have a well-built lobby, fast support and still hide the wagering requirement behind a registration. Then it will be noted in the review, regardless of how nice the site looks. If an operator does not publish its terms openly I write that they do not — not that the terms «are reasonable».

A rating from me is always provisional until the game has been run. First the rule sheet and the numbers, then the session, and if the game over- or under-delivers the score is adjusted. If it says the session is booked, then it is: I don't invent a gaming experience I haven't had.
