About Michael
Michael Kirby has worked in the iGaming industry for 14 years. He writes and checks every page on VideoSlotsGames.com – from the casino bonus comparisons and free spins rankings to the casino reviews and slots guides.
His aim with the site is simple: to give UK players an honest, plain-English view of online slots and casino offers, with the small print shown up front rather than buried.
What Michael covers
- Casino bonuses, free spins and no wagering offers
- UK casino reviews and ratings
- Video slots, Megaways, jackpots and new releases
- UK gambling regulation, including the 10x wagering cap
- Safer gambling tools and support
How Michael checks every page
- Licence first – every casino's licence is checked on the UK Gambling Commission public register.
- Terms from the source – every offer is checked against the casino's own published terms.
- Current rules – content is reviewed against UK rules, including the 10x wagering cap and online slot stake limits.
- Regular rechecks – offers are rechecked regularly and dated so you can see when they were last verified.

Michael's approach to slot reviews
Every slot review starts with the facts that matter most to players: the developer's published RTP, volatility, maximum win and how the features really work. Where sources disagree or a figure can't be confirmed, Michael says so on the page rather than guessing – and he flags where RTP can vary between casinos.
Editorial independence
Michael decides which casinos and offers are featured and how they are scored, using the criteria set out on our How we rate page. Commercial relationships never change a score.
A safer gambling first view
With 14 years in the industry, Michael puts responsible play at the centre of every page: significant terms next to every offer, clear explanations of risk, and links to free support on our responsible gambling page.
