From game data to checks
Each figure in a review stands on a source. On UK Slots, that source is a catalogue of game data. Reliance on a figure depends on where it comes from and how it is checked.
The game data catalogue
All figures on UK Slots come from a catalogue of game data. This catalogue supplies every number used in a review. The source of the catalogue itself is not named. A reader can weigh each figure, but cannot trace the catalogue further. Knowing where a number comes from is the first step in judging it.
Key figures and multiplier checks
On a review page, key figures for a game come straight from the game data. They are not typed in as text. This removes the risk of a figure being mistyped. A multiplier that appears in the wording is a different case. It is matched against the game data before publication. Readers can treat a named multiplier as checked and a key figure as data.
What a review covers
- Reels and lines are listed for every reviewed game.
- RTP is included for every reviewed game.
- The maximum win a game can pay is shown.
- Bonus features are described in the review.
- Volatility is set out for the game.
- The mechanics of play are explained.
A guide, not a casino
UK Slots is a reference guide to online casino games. It is not a casino. Money cannot be staked here, and no deposit can be made. Someone who wants to place a bet will need to look elsewhere. A reader can go through every review without spending anything.
RTP and its limits
RTP describes an average calculated across a huge number of rounds. It is a long-term, theoretical value, not a prediction. The version offered by a casino can differ from the figure in a review. Whatever the number, no result is guaranteed. A single session can land far from that average. For a player, it describes the long run and says nothing about the next round.
