Welcome to Penny Slot Machines, where our passion for casino gaming and commitment to providing honest, helpful content drives everything we do. We're a small, dedicated team of casino enthusiasts who've spent countless hours on casino floors, tested thousands of slot games, and built this site to share what we've learned.
Why We Don't Publish Full Names, Photos, or LinkedIn Profiles
You'll notice we don't publish our photos, full names, or LinkedIn profiles. Here's why: while we're incredibly proud of the work we do here, and we'd love to have our pictures up on the site, the internet can be a weird place at times, and I wouldn't want to be responsible if someone with bad intentions started to hassle my team or their families.
Added to that, gambling content isn't universally accepted in all professional circles. Our team members all work part-time, have other careers, and personal considerations that make privacy important to them.
What we can promise is this: every person on our team is real, our experience is genuine, and our reviews are based on actual gameplay. We test every game, visit real casinos, and provide honest feedback. We believe transparency about our approach is more valuable than manufactured credentials, and we hope you'll judge us by the quality and authenticity of our content.
Our Team
Me
I started Penny Slot Machines because I wanted a place to play free casino games without spam, intrusive ads, or hassle. What began as a personal project has grown into a resource for thousands of players who, like me, love the thrill of slots without necessarily wanting to bet real money every time.
My casino credentials? I'm a regular at G2E (the Global Gaming Expo) in Las Vegas, where I see the latest innovations in slot technology before they hit casino floors. I've visited casinos in Macau, Atlantic City, Reno, and dozens of local casinos across the country. When I travel abroad, finding a casino is always on my itinerary. Las Vegas feels like a second home. While I enjoy the occasional real-money play, my true passion is experiencing the games themselves, which is why free play is at the heart of this site.
Sam - Games Specialist & Chinese Market Expert
Sam brings an insider's perspective that's rare in this industry. She grew up in Macau with a family deeply embedded in the casino business, giving her a behind-the-scenes understanding of how casinos and slot machines really work. She's responsible for testing our games, troubleshooting technical issues, writing game reviews, and providing Chinese translations for our Chinese-speaking audience in the United States and beyond.
Her bilingual expertise and technical knowledge make her invaluable to our mission of making quality casino gaming accessible to everyone, regardless of their primary language.
Frank - Sweepstakes Expert & Quality Control
I met Frank way back in 2006 at the Golden Nugget Buffet in Las Vegas. He was frustrated seeing me keep going back for small plates of food, and told me to go get a "real plate of food next time." He was joking (kind of), and we had a good laugh. Turns out Frank is a massive slots fan, knew my site very well, and was interested in contributing.
Frank writes reviews and especially loves to review new sweepstakes. He really enjoys playing at home in his beloved Texas, tests a lot of new slot games to see if they're good enough to be on the site, and helps with double-checking other people's reviews. His attention to detail and enthusiasm for sweepstakes casinos make him an essential part of our quality control process.
Our Writing Team
Our content is created by a diverse group of writers spread across the United States, United Kingdom, and Europe. What unites them? A genuine love for casino gaming, particularly penny slots and sweepstakes casinos, combined with a responsible approach to gambling.
These aren't professional gamblers or high rollers. They're everyday players who enjoy the entertainment value of slots, typically spending just a few dollars a month at their local casinos. They understand the appeal of penny slots because they play them regularly. They know which games offer the best entertainment value, which features are actually fun, and which casinos treat players right.
Like many of our readers, they prefer free play most of the time. There's something pure about enjoying slots without financial pressure, just the fun of the game itself.
Our Editorial Standards
Every game on this site is tested by our team. We don't publish reviews of games we haven't played. When we write about casino strategies, tips, or game features, it's based on real experience, not copied from other sites.
We focus on:
- Honest game reviews - If a game is boring or has poor features, we'll tell you
- Responsible gaming - We advocate for entertainment-focused play and free alternatives
- Accurate information - We verify facts, paytables, and game mechanics
- Player perspective - We write for players, not casinos

We're not a massive operation with corporate backing. We're a small team that genuinely loves slots, respects our readers, and believes great content speaks for itself. We built this site because we wanted it to exist, and we maintain it because we're passionate about what we do.
If you have questions about our content, suggestions for games to feature, or feedback on our reviews, we're always listening. This site exists for players like you, and your input helps us improve.
Our Promise
We promise to always test games before reviewing them, to be honest about both strengths and weaknesses, to prioritize your entertainment over casino commissions, and to maintain the spam-free, user-friendly experience that this site was built to provide.
