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.
The remit
What 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.

NextSlots is an editorial site. We do not take bets, hold funds or operate games. Every demo on this site is play-money only and pays nothing back: the results you see in a demo will not repeat with real stakes. Gambling with real money should be treated as paid entertainment, never as income.
If it has stopped being fun, stop. Free, confidential help is available in the UK 24 hours a day, and self-exclusion across every UK-licensed site takes about five minutes to set up through GAMSTOP.
