How we put a review together
Trust in a review starts with knowing where each figure comes from. We show how the figures in a review are gathered and checked. Figures taken from data leave less room for error than figures typed by hand.
RTP, a long-term figure
RTP is a theoretical, long-term figure. It describes the average return calculated over a very large number of rounds. Long term means far longer than any single visit. The figure guarantees no result. It says nothing about when a result will come or what it will be. A short session can land far above or below it. The version of a game offered by a casino may differ. So the RTP on a review page may not match the figure a casino displays. We treat the figure as a benchmark for comparing games, not as a prediction.
Where the figures come from
Game figures come from a catalogue of game data. The source is not named. Key figures on a review page are read from the game data. They are not typed in as text. A win multiplier mentioned in the text is checked against the game data. The check happens before publication. For the reader, that check anchors the words to the data.
A reference guide and what it covers
Best Online Slots is a reference guide to online casino games. It is not a casino and takes no bets or deposits. No money is at stake on this website. The role is to inform, not to take part in play. A review covers what is known about a game. The list includes RTP, bonus features, maximum win, reels and lines, volatility, and mechanics. These marks pull against each other. A title strong on one is often weak on another. Reading them together gives a clearer basis for judgment than any single figure.
