Editorial Guidelines

SlotRanker combines structured game data, repeatable scoring rules, and editorial review. Game, provider, category, casino, and bonus pages are built from verified data sources and templates so the catalogue stays consistent at scale. Editorial articles and selected review blocks are written or checked by our team.

Our goal is to make every rating explainable: where the data comes from, how the score is calculated, and when human review is involved.

Where We Get Our Data

We use information from:

• official provider and casino pages;
• technical specifications, game sheets, and paytables where available;
• demo versions and visible in-game information;
• structured catalogue data collected by our parser;
• manual checks and corrections from the SlotRanker team;
• user feedback and correction requests, when verified.

We cross-check data for consistency before it is used in public pages or score calculations.

Update Frequency

SlotRanker is updated regularly:

• New games, providers, casino pages, and bonus information may be added as they are collected and checked.
• Slot Scores are recalculated when source data is refreshed, corrected, or expanded.
• Programmatic pages are reviewed periodically to keep data, links, and descriptions consistent.
• Editorial content is updated when new information materially changes the article or recommendation.

Because game data can change at the provider or casino level, we show scores as current catalogue estimates rather than permanent guarantees.

Slot Score: How We Rate

Slot Score is SlotRanker's 0-99 rating for comparing games in the catalogue. The score is calculated by formula, not by paid placement or manual preference.

For standard slots, the default formula uses up to nine signals:

1. Payouts & RTP: 25%
2. Win Potential: 10%
3. Features: 15%
4. Volatility: 10%
5. Game Mechanics: 10%
6. Popularity: 15%
7. Layout: 5%
8. Bet Flexibility: 5%
9. Provider Reputation: 5%

Some game types, such as table games, live casino games, crash games, scratch cards, keno, bingo, and dice games, do not use every slot-specific signal. In those cases, SlotRanker applies a type-aware profile so games are not penalised for missing concepts that do not apply to their format.

The score may change when source data is refreshed, when a field is corrected, or when provider-level averages change. The full formula is documented on the How We Rate page.

Affiliate

SlotRanker may earn commission from affiliate links, but commercial relationships do not change Slot Score calculations. Providers and casinos cannot buy a higher score.

The Slot Score is calculated from the documented formula. Editorial content, corrections, and manual checks can improve the quality of information shown on the page, but they do not override the score for commercial reasons.

Feedback from Users

We welcome corrections, suggestions, and user feedback. If you notice outdated RTP, missing features, broken demos, incorrect provider information, or casino availability issues, you can contact us and our team will review the report.

Verified corrections may update the public data and can affect future Slot Score recalculations when they change a scoring field.
