Penny Slot Machines is committed to providing accurate, honest, and helpful content about casino gaming. Our editorial policy ensures that every piece of content meets high standards for quality, accuracy, and integrity. We prioritize our readers' interests over commercial relationships, and we're transparent about how we operate.
Our editorial team makes all content decisions independently, without influence from advertisers, affiliate partners, or casino operators. We decide which games to review, which casinos to feature, and what opinions to express based solely on our assessment of what serves our readers best.
We never accept payment for positive reviews or favorable coverage. Our opinions cannot be bought.
Penny Slot Machines participates in affiliate programs with some online casinos and sweepstakes sites. This means we may earn a commission when readers sign up through our links. However:
These affiliate relationships help keep our site free for players and allow us to continue providing free slot games without intrusive advertising. We believe this model aligns our interests with yours: we succeed when we help you find great gaming experiences.
Game developers and casino operators cannot pay to have their games featured on our site. Every game we host has been selected because we tested it and believe it's worth playing. If we feature a game, it's because we genuinely think it's good, not because someone paid us to include it.
We take accuracy seriously. Before publishing content, we verify facts through multiple methods:
We fact-check:
If we cannot verify a claim with confidence, we either:
We never present unverified claims as facts.
When we discover errors in our content, we correct them promptly. Mistakes happen despite our best efforts, and we take responsibility for them.
How we handle corrections:
The gaming industry changes rapidly. Casino bonuses expire, games get updated, regulations change, and casinos close. We regularly review our content to keep it current, but some information may become outdated between updates.
We encourage readers to verify time-sensitive information (bonuses, legal status, availability) directly with casinos when making decisions.
If you spot an error in our content, please contact us. We appreciate corrections and take reader feedback seriously.
All content on Penny Slot Machines is original. We do not:
Our reviews, articles, and guides are written by real people based on real experiences.
We only publish reviews of games and casinos we've personally tested. This is non-negotiable. If we haven't played it, we don't write about it.
For more details on our testing methodology, see our How We Review page.
We write for real people, not search engines. Our content aims to:
We avoid jargon when simpler language works, and we explain technical terms when we need to use them.
We write from a player's perspective, not a casino's. Our goal is to help you have better gaming experiences, not to maximize casino profits.
We believe gambling should be entertainment, not a financial strategy. Our content reflects this philosophy:
Penny Slot Machines is intended for adults. We:
We include problem gambling resources in relevant articles and maintain a dedicated responsible gambling page with help lines and support resources.
If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, help is available:
We're transparent about who creates content for Penny Slot Machines. While our team uses pseudonyms for privacy reasons (explained on our Editorial Team page), we're real people with genuine experience in casino gaming.
We're transparent about how we make money:
We do not sell user data, and we do not accept payment for editorial coverage.
When we have a business relationship with a casino or service we're discussing, we disclose it clearly. You'll typically see this in the form of "affiliate link" notifications or disclaimer text.
We respect your privacy. We do not sell or share personal information with third parties except as necessary to operate the site (analytics, hosting, etc.). See our Privacy Policy for complete details.
Gaming laws vary by jurisdiction. When we discuss legal status, we:
We are not lawyers, and our content is not legal advice.
We verify casino licensing and regulatory oversight before recommending real-money gaming sites. We favor casinos operating under reputable jurisdictions and avoid recommending unlicensed operators when licensed alternatives exist.
When discussing bonus terms, wagering requirements, or casino policies, we review the actual terms of service. However, casinos can change their terms at any time, so we encourage players to verify current terms before signing up.
Our team members play slots for personal enjoyment at various casinos. This doesn't create conflicts of interest—it's how we gain the experience necessary to write helpful reviews.
We do not:
As active members of the gaming community who attend industry events like G2E, we may have casual professional relationships with people in the casino industry. These relationships do not influence our editorial decisions.
If there's any potential conflict of interest, we err on the side of disclosure. Transparency builds trust, and trust is more valuable than any individual piece of content.
All team members are expected to follow this editorial policy. Content that doesn't meet our standards is revised or removed.
We reserve the right to moderate or remove reader comments that:
This editorial policy is not static. We regularly review and update our standards to reflect industry best practices, reader feedback, and our own experiences.
If you have questions about our editorial policy, concerns about specific content, or suggestions for improvement, please contact us.
We take editorial standards seriously and welcome feedback that helps us serve our readers better.
