David Burke

Lead Slots Analyst

@davidburkeldn

David has spent more than ten years testing casino games for UK players, and brings a numbers-first eye to slots: he checks published RTP and volatility against how a game actually plays before it earns a place on any list. He has written more than 350 reviews and tested well over a thousand titles, and he signs off every verdict himself.

Areas I focus on

RTP, house edge and volatility: the maths behind every pick
Checking a studio's published numbers against real play
High-variance slots, where the stated figures matter most

How I test

I put a game through real sessions and weigh what I see against its published RTP and volatility before it earns a place on any list.
