From game data to review

What a review covers

• The reels and lines the game is built on are described.
• The mechanics of the game are set out as they operate.
• Volatility is stated for each game under review.
• The RTP of the game is listed.
• The maximum win the game can reach is given.
• Bonus features are described in turn.

A guide, not a casino

Non GS Slots is a reference guide to online casino games, and it is not a casino. Money does not come into what we do: we take no bets and hold no deposits. That standing sets the limits of everything published here, because a review is information about a game rather than an invitation to wager. A reader weighing a slot can use a page to understand the game itself, then reach an independent view.

What RTP tells a player and what it does not

RTP is a theoretical long-term figure. It records what a game would pay back on average across a stretch of play far beyond any single session, which gives a reader a real measure of how the game is built and no measure at all of what the next spin, or the next hundred, will return. The figure attached to a game can also differ from the version a casino offers. Treated as a description of the game rather than a promise, it does what a reader needs; treated as a forecast, it fails, because no result is guaranteed.

Where the figures come from

The figures in a review all trace back to a catalogue of game data; the source of the catalogue itself is not named. On a review page, the key figures are taken from that data directly, not entered as text, so the number shown is the data itself rather than a description of it. Any win multiplier named in the text of a review is checked against the game data before publication, which screens out a multiplier that has drifted from its source. A reader who learns this route once can apply it to every review on the site: key figures compare like for like, and a multiplier in the text matches the data.
