    Simon Wooldridge

    Head of Content

    Simon’s fascination with slots started with teasing 40p worth of change through spinning 10p coins into a fruit machine in the last century. This has grown to a solid appreciation for the dazzling artistry, imagination and mechanics of modern online slots. Slots-wise he likes westerns, gangsters, rock music tie-ins and dislikes anything overly complex (like life itself).

    Slot Sites Manager & Reviewer

    Although a sucker for a simple 3-reel fruit machine, Alyx loves exploring the world of modern-day slots. She enjoys a good music tribute title, as well as pretty much any Nolimit City game. So while she claims to fly the flag for the traditionalist slot gamers, Alyx can always be tempted to try out and review the latest releases with even the most complex mechanics.
