About

With 20+ years' experience in the online gambling industry, I've reviewed more than 10,000 slot games along the way. Having worked with slot studios as well as casino and slots operators, I offer honest slot reviews, exclusive access and put your interests (the player) first.

Slots can be fun, but they can also be confusing.
With so many slots out there, it’s easy to end up with run of the mill games, boring mechanics or bonus features that don't offer much excitement. That’s why I focus on reviewing games honestly, breaking down what actually matters, and helping you find the right slot game. If a game is bad or if there is a better alternative, you'll know.

I don’t promote hype, just the best sites to play your favourite games.
I guide you to the top slot sites that are worth their time, including a look at at available deposit methods, withdrawal times, games offering, welcome offers, promotions for existing players, mobile compatibility and much more.

My goal is simple 

Make sure you don’t waste time or money on second-rate slots or slot sites. In a nutshell, I’m here to help you find better games, better sites, smarter bonuses, and a more rewarding way to play.

Quotes from Chris

“Slot games are not just about spinning the reels. There needs to be an emotional connection which ties into a player’s needs, desires and dreams.”

“My aim is to give players an unbiased, accurate and truthful assessment of slot games. This way, players can choose the right slots for them. It’s that simple.”

“When a slot game provider pushes the boundaries in terms of theme or mechanic, others will follow. Then you know you’re onto something.”

Money Train 5 Slot (Relax Gaming)

Money Train 5 Slot (Relax Gaming)

Relax Gaming has announced that they will release the Money Train 5 slot on the 24th of September 2026. With no details available, it’s sure to become a defining game at UK slot sites.

What is known is that Relax has confirmed that Money Train 5 will lean even harder into risk, volatility and the pursuit of big moments. Speaking of the upcoming game, Chief Product Officer Tony O’Mahony commented:

“There aren’t many franchises in iGaming that genuinely create anticipation before they’re even announced. Money Train is one of them”.

Relax’s CEO, Martin Stålros, said: “When you’re creating a sequel to one of the best series ever made in slot history, expectations are high. We knew that if we brought Money Train back, it had to be for the right reasons – and it had to raise the bar again. Bigger, riskier and more unpredictable. That’s exactly what players can expect.”

Once more details are available, I will update the Money Train 5 review and add a free demo. In the meantime, check out hundreds of free demo slots at OLBG.
