Editorial Process
Slots Today aims to provide complete, accurate reporting and information on legal slots of all varieties, including all the latest regarding online slots and retail slot machines. Here, you’ll find current news about the world of slots, reviews of the most popular and newest slot titles, informational pages explaining how to play slots, factors to consider when you do, and much more.
When gathering and sharing information about slots, we carefully follow certain editorial guidelines to ensure that everything you read at Slots Today meets our high standards. Here is an overview of how we conduct our reporting and why you can trust Slots Today as a reliable source of news and information about slots.
We focus on legal retail and online slots
Our purview at Slots Today is legal slots. That includes legal online slots in states that allow real money online gambling as well as the legal slot machines you find in retail casinos in many states across the US. We also cover social and sweepstakes sites that offer opportunities to play online slots for free or using virtual currencies.
We not only report on different slots and where to play them but also provide up-to-date information about the legal status of slots in different jurisdictions. We do not report on illegal slots, such as might be found on unregulated, unlicensed gambling sites. Generally speaking, the only mention of such sites you’ll see here is a recommendation to avoid playing on them. Stick to legal and regulated slots as authorized by the gambling laws of your particular state.
We believe that the more informed you are about slots, the better your experience will be when you play. That includes knowing about the potential risks and rewards involved with any gambling game. It also includes understanding what is legal and what is not when it comes to playing slots.
How we gather information at Slots Today
Our approach to reporting on slots is guided by strict journalistic principles designed to ensure objectivity and fairness.
Whether sharing the latest news from the world of slots or reviewing individual titles, we rely almost exclusively on primary sources. That means speaking directly to industry representatives and those involved in the stories we report. That also means testing slots ourselves to provide accurate and dependable evaluations in our reviews.
Our staff includes a team of writers with extensive experience in both journalism and the gaming industry. We apply our research and reporting skills to present trustworthy and comprehensive information.
Slots Today is part of the larger Catena Media network of news sites reporting on legal gambling. That connection additionally enables our staff to consult with a wide range of other experts on gambling and slots when needed.
Standards for publication
Everything you read at Slots Today is produced either by our staff or by qualified and vetted freelance writers whose work our staff reviews and edits. You can consider Slots Today a definitive and original source of information about the current world of online and retail slots. We encourage others researching and writing about slots to cite us and link to our pages as support for their own content.
Every article and informational page on this site has been read and revised multiple times. Our editorial process begins with the staff collectively discussing and deciding on slots-related topics and news to report. Then, once a draft is produced, it is reviewed both by copy editors and content editors. That means checking for surface-level issues involving spelling, grammar, clarity, and tone. It also means double-checking all factual information for accuracy.
While we rely mostly on primary sources for our reporting, we may occasionally draw upon another news outlet as a starting point or to support our content. In those cases, we independently verify the source’s reporting and cite the outlet clearly. For our pages regarding various aspects of slots play and our reviews, all of the information we provide is kept current and updated whenever necessary.
Such meticulous pre-publication inspection and periodic review eliminate errors and help everything we publish be of the highest quality possible. That said, if ever you catch anything that needs attention, please don’t hesitate to let us know.
Objective and independent
As part of the Catena Media network, Slots Today has affiliate partnerships with gaming companies that offer legal gambling products in many jurisdictions. As you browse the site and read our articles and reviews, you may encounter clearly marked advertising or bonus offers from these partners.
Understand, however, that all of our content is produced independently and with no editorial input from any of our partners. Our staff alone decides what we report and how we report it, which means we exert full control over the content of every article, informational page, and review appearing on the site.
Our editorial independence distinguishes Slots Today from other sites and ensures you can trust our judgment and insight regarding the latest slots news and information, including our reviews of the most popular titles.
