Callum Rees

Callum is the chronicler of this codex: nothing gets a full page here until he has played it. Eleven years in and around online gaming out of Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, four of them writing about it, and a standing rule that a slot he has only watched a video of is a slot he has not seen.

What he writes here

The slot pages — the part of this site where somebody has to sit through the session and reach the feature. The chronicles and guides are Marnie Coulthard's.

How he tests a slot

1. A real sessionDemo or real, but always long enough to reach the bonus round at least once. A page without the feature is not finished.
2. Figures firstPublished RTP and volatility from the workshop, checked against the game's own info panel.
3. Screens, not stock artScreenshots come from his own session. Where the round has not been reached yet, the page says so rather than showing somebody else's.
4. Notes lastWritten after the session, not before it.

How he checks the RTP

The published default first, then the game's own info panel: where a title ships in several certified settings, the page names them, so a reader knows to look before spinning.

On the partner links

They earn us a commission and they change nothing on the slot pages. The method page sets out where the money comes from and what it does not buy.
