About me
I spent years in slot mathematics, most of them as an ex-Aristocrat math designer — I worked on the Lightning Link family, so I've built the reel maths, weighting tables and hit-frequency models that sit underneath the pokies people actually play. I know precisely where a return-to-player figure comes from, and how easily it can be quoted to look better than it really is.
I joined VegasPokie in September 2024. My job is simple to describe and slow to do: I verify advertised RTP against independently-sampled spin data, then flag the providers running configurable-RTP versions where the AU casino has quietly picked the lower band. If a pokie ships at 96.5% in one market and 94% in another, our readers should be told which one they're getting — not the marketing number.
I'm an NMi-certified test reader, which means I can read and check the same independent test certificates the regulators rely on. Every volatility score and RTP claim on a VegasPokie pokie page has my maths behind it.
