Our Commitment
We at JohnSlots are ardent about the dynamic slots industry. Our team, comprising of industry experts, strives to provide unrivalled coverage of all providers, regardless of their size. Our mission is to deliver user-friendly, informative, and highly accurate content that assists you in maximizing your gaming experience. From top slots to upcoming releases, and newly launched or established online casinos, we endeavour to equip you with all the necessary facts to make informed decisions.
Committed to Provide Unbiased Reviews
Our team of gambling experts delivers trustworthy insights and recommendations based on hands-on experience. From joining leading casinos, and playing slot games to redeeming offers, we provide unbiased opinions rooted in real play. Each casino review goes through a meticulous 7-step review process, and all slot reviews are evaluated by looking at 10 different aspects of the game. Our team spends £120 per review, or £600 on average per month for playtesting.
Committed to Educate Players
At JohnSlots, we’re committed to sharing our deep-rooted knowledge with our players, built from years of experience in the gambling industry. Our team, equipped with unique insights and over 50 years of combined experience, crafts player guides, regulations overviews, and blogs to offer fresh perspectives on online casino gaming. These resources include player guides, legal insights, responsible gambling tools, and informative learning hub posts.
Committed to Bring Players The Latest Games
We strive to cover the latest releases of the most popular game developers. We review both current and future slot releases by getting access to developers’ portals and media assets. At JohnSlots we offer our visitors free-to-play slots in demo mode or real money slots, and it is up to you, the players, to choose whether to spend money or not. It is important for us to provide you with the opportunity to try out a game before you take any risks.
We fund our slot and casino tests and reviews through revenue generated when visitors choose to sign up with our partner casinos via affiliate links — though there’s absolutely no requirement to do so. Read more about this below.
