Where review figures come from

Key figures and checked multipliers

The key figures on a review page are not written up by us; they are taken directly from the game data, so what you see next to a game is what the data holds. Where a review quotes a win multiplier inside its wording, that number is checked against the same game data before publication. The figures that shape your judgement are therefore never paraphrased, and the few that appear within sentences are verified first.

One catalogue of game data

Every game figure we use originates in a catalogue of game data, and that single catalogue feeds all of our reviews. We do not name the source of the catalogue. What this gives you is one shared origin for the numbers, so two games can be compared on figures that arrived the same way rather than on data gathered differently for each title.

What RTP tells you and what it does not

RTP is a theoretical long-term figure: an average return built into a game over a very large number of spins, not a promise about any session of yours. A casino may offer a different version of the same game, so the figure you see from us may not match the one where you play. No RTP guarantees any result, which is why it works as context for how a game is built and never as a forecast.

What a review covers

• Every review states the game's RTP.
• The maximum win a game can produce is given.
• How the mechanics work is explained.
• The bonus features are described one by one.
• Volatility is given for the game.
• The reels and lines the game uses are named.

A guide, not a casino

Reelyard is a reference guide to online casino games, and a guide only. We take no bets and hold no deposits, so no money is ever staked with us. A review here is information to carry away: whether you play at all, and where, remains entirely your decision.
