Best Slots Journal — Our Review Process
All Reviews Are Based on First-Hand Experience
At Best Slots Journal, we strongly believe that there is only one way to get the correct, useful, and unique information about any gambling product, especially about an online slot. To do it, you have to personally test it to get a thorough understanding of a certain product. Then, based on the huge experience of our team, we convey our findings to our readers.
When you read a certain review or rating on Best Slots Journal, be sure that related products have actually been tested by our team. We may have discussions within the team, and the review might be a result of our collective work, not just a single author.
Always Keeping in Mind the Best Interest of Our Readers
We never encourage our readers to play certain games or deposit at certain casinos. We simply provide our unbiased opinion about a certain gambling product, and you are the one to make the decision based on this information.
We believe that the only way to gain long-term trust from our readers is to be honest with our audience. That’s why, when there is something bad to be said about a particular gambling product, be sure that we will do it.
Our Reviews Are Not Influenced By Anybody Other Than Our Genuine Opinion
When you read a review, a rating, or access any other gambling-related info on Best Slots Journal, you are reading a personal opinion of a certain author or the whole editorial team. Our reviews are not controlled, influenced, or paid by third parties such as online casinos, software providers, or anybody else.
We always try to be honest with our users. Like any other human beings, we might occasionally make mistakes, but those mistakes are never a result of bad intent.
Always Trying to Provide As Much Data About a Product To Our Readers As Possible
We acknowledge that slot players can be very different when it comes to which parameters matter more for them when it comes to slots. Some players prefer only high RTP games; others might not care about it and prefer only high max win multiplier slots.
That’s why, at Best Slots Journal, we prefer to gather as much data about a certain slot or product as possible and present this data to our readers in some convenient format. We like to use comparison spreadsheets and lists so our readers can assess all the information and make the final decision by themselves.
We Constantly Update Our Reviews and Ratings
We acknowledge the responsibility to provide the correct information. That’s why our ratings are constantly updated.
It is especially important when it comes to the RTP of online slots since slot providers might change these parameters over time. Also, we constantly update the demo version of slots reviewed on the website since free versions tend to break over time.
We Always Take Into Consideration Feedback From Our Readers
We are getting dozens of emails from our readers every day regarding different gambling products (mostly slots). People share their experience with a particular game, things they like, and things they don’t like. We carefully read all such emails, and many of you have received our responses.
We believe such feedback is the most important ranking factor when it comes to assessing gambling products. Our reviews might be updated based on users’ feedback over time.
How We Rate Slots:
RTP is the most important parameter in a way that it influences the gameplay in the biggest possible way. The higher RTP is, the longer your sessions will be, and more fun you will get from your bankroll. However, we understand that if you play rather occasionally, then RTP might not be a big deal for you.
Volatility is another important parameter that influences the gameplay in a big way. We acknowledge that there are no “good” or “bad” volatility levels, but we always emphasize the importance of the volatility level that a certain slot has.
Originality. Even though it is hard to come up with something new in the environment where 30,000+ online slots have been produced so far, we definitely do not appreciate one-to-one copies of popular slot games.
How engaging the gameplay is. This is another very individual parameter since, for some players, classic simple slots are already entertaining enough, though others may require many innovative features. We prefer to explain features and explain how they influence the gameplay, but leave the final decision to you.
Max win multiplier is a strong trend of recent years. We have noticed that more and more, our readers over years are excited about nothing else but the max win multiplier a slot has. It is quite understandable, so we have adjusted and always take this parameter into account.
