About

Spin & Tell reads online slots the way criticism reads any other made thing: closely, calmly, and against the maker’s own claims. We cover the games, the studios that build them, and the release calendar they arrive on — volatility curves treated like brushwork, paytables treated like primary sources. We do not hype wins, we do not publish “how to win” content, and we quote marketing only to weigh it.

Who writes here

The site is edited by Vera Lindqvist. Reviews run under the editor’s byline; news runs under the house byline “Staff, Spin & Tell.” We publish under house bylines maintained by our editorial team — a disclosed model, stated plainly in our editorial policy along with how we review and score.

How this site is funded

Spin & Tell is an independent, commercially supported publication. We may earn affiliate commissions or advertising revenue from links on the site. That revenue never dictates our conclusions: scores, pros, and cons are editorial judgments, and any paid or sponsored placement is disclosed where it appears, in the same layout as everything else. Commercial enquiries go through the advertise page.

What we cover, and how

News runs 300–500 words, sourced to studio announcements and the public record, with every specification attributed — “per the published sheet”, “the studio says”, “as of this writing”. Reviews run 800–1,200 words and always carry genuine pros and cons, a spec table of published figures, and a sober score. We write for licensed markets; availability varies by jurisdiction, and we say so when it matters. This is an 18+ subject: every page of the site carries a responsible-gambling line, and every review restates it in its own words, because slots are entertainment with a built-in house edge and deserve to be enjoyed with limits.

Corrections

If we have a figure, a date, or a characterisation wrong, tell us via the contact page. Corrections are the fastest queue we run, and we note them in the piece.
